Cycling By . . .

by on September 26, 2009

I have the sweetest Magnolia to share today; another of my favorites for sure!  At the Magnolia-licious site, this is #386 – Tilda with Bike.  I colored her up with Copics and call me crazy but I just love the little basket on her bike (do kids even have bikes like this any more?)  At any rate, I had the card done yesterday and spent today trying to make a basket companion piece to go with the card but my attempts weren’t clicking with the basket – it ended up in the "waste basket."  No worries, I’ll try again but in the mean time I wanted to go ahead and share the card.  

Do me a favor . . . if the bike tickles your fancy, be sure to look at  #135 Bike Edwin.  Too cute!! 

Card Recipe:
Stamps:  Magnolia-licious #386 -  Tilda with Bike. 
Paper:   Country Garden,  Bazzill
Ink:  Memento Black Tuxedo
Accessories:  Ribbon, Prima Flower, Safety Pin, Martha Stewart Loopy Edge Border, Copic Markers

As always, thanks for indulging me.  I’m working on another JustRite project that I hope to have ready in the next day or so.

Oh! this is just too cute. I think I am showing my age (60).
I used to have a bike with a basket on the front like that.
Such a changing world we live in.
The striped border on your card looks like a fence Tilda is standing by. I love those greens and blues together and of course the bow. Gorgeous as usual.

Just too cute Becca. I haven’t seen any bicycles like that in this day and age anymore. It is so interesting how the different designer papers work so well together. Beautiful work. TFS!!!

It’s gorgeous Becca. The mix of papers go so well together – who says “Blue and green should never be seen”?

Absolutely adorable. And do you know what? I found a basket for the front of my bike just like this one. Yes, at 55 yrs. old I have my childhood bicycle back, or at least a decent replica. This card is wonderful! What a treat for someone to receive.

Becca, I am so hooked on your work that I am actually finding myself waiting for anything new to be posted by you. Your postings are right up there with my personal emails that I receive from friends. And this little Tilda card is no exception! I’ve been following your blog for a while but I just can’t help but comment on it now. Thanks for bringing me lots of smiles!

I remember my blue bike with a basket. I love the color choices and the border looks like a fence with the paper. What a beautiful card! Thank you for sharing.

Beautiful job coloring this card. You are so very talented with your layouts and paper choices. I would love to see this card in my mail box. It reminds me of my daughter when she was little. She was always putting flowers in her basket. Thanks for the memories.
