Bonjour, Mon Ami

I'm so happy for this young lady!  She's outside in the fresh air, riding her bike, without a cloud in the sky, or a care in the world.  Best of all, she's touring France!  Okay, now I'm getting a little worried for her.  Is she somehow mistakenly qualified and entered in Le Tour De France?  Watch out for your flower basket, girlie!  Oh, I do hope she stays to the right.

The signs and flowers were cut on the Silhouette.  I stamped the girl on white, colored her with Copics, and cut her out.  I paper pieced her skirt.  I also stamped her on the blue and lavender to get the wheels and bike chain.  The bricks and the "bridge" were heat embossed.  I blended some distress ink to the top and bottom of the blue cardstock.  Papers were all from my scraps.

This card was inspired by the following challenges:

ABC DT Challenge




Thanks so much for coming over for a visit.  As always, I appreciate your support and encouragement.  It means so much to me!
