I want to ride my bicycle

The sketch I used on this card was for a Sketch Saturday challenge, but it's taken me so long to get around to taking a photo and uploading it that they're onto a new challenge. My get-up-and-go always seems to get-up-and-disappear in January.

I've used mainly new crafty stuff on this card. The stamp (new to me) and papers were bought from a certain auction site - I couldn't believe it when I found someone selling older Basic Grey paper pads, which were my absolute faves in the past, and I might just go back and buy some more! The die used for the flower was a Christmas present

Image stamp - Penny Black '...For A Spin'

Papers - Basic Grey 'Olivia'
Colouring medium - Prismacolour Premier soft core pencils

Extras - Sizzix 'Tattered Florals by Tim Holtz' Bigz die, pearls and twine
