When I saw the inspiration image from the Inspired by All the Little Things challenge #56 with the bike with flowers in the basket, I knew it was a perfect occasion to get my Bicycle Built For You stamps inked. For the design, I drew inspiration from Sunday Stamps #152. I was looking for colour inspiration and nothing from the current challenges was tickling my fancy, so I reverted to older ColourQ combos for inspiration (I picked #7). The orange and teal reminded me of Lawn Fawn's Perfectly Plaid Fall papers, so I pulled those out to create my background.
It's hard to look at a Lawn Fawn creation without feeling happy, and this card is no exception. There's just happiness that oozes out of those smiley, adorable characters. I was looking for a French sentiment to finish off my card (although this set DOES include three French sentiments to add to the bike banner!) and I found something that was the perfect size in Stampin' Up!'s retired Amazing Birthday stamp set. By sheer coincidence, the otuside rim of the sentiment looks like a sun, so it complemented my little scene very nicely. The sentiment reads, "It For You."
I'm really digging the new road dies Lawn Fawn has added to its line as well. With the two overlapping die-cuts, it's really easy to add colour to the street line. I grabbed my dew drops and added a few "pebbles" on the side of the road for added dimension and detailing.
