Now you may have noticed that I have a bit of a ‘thing’ for bike images ,, unfortunately this hasn't translated to getting the real thing out of the garage ,,, but you never know ,,, :-)


Hello Spring !! 
I used a Hero Arts On The Go Bike, stamp and die set and Mix Notecards Midnight


012

I made the banner using the stamps and die in the set, stamping onto canvas and sewing on a machine. The tulips are cut from a Meadow Rue die, and the grass is a Martha Stewart icicle punch that is now discontinued. I swiped the bricks with a versamark ink pad and embossed with clear to make it look like a white gloss painted wall :-)

I will link all the products I used at the bottom of this post.
