A Happy Couple

Love is in the air around blogland these days.  I've had so much fun combining a few challenges in this card:
This happy couple and their bike was colored with Copics, but everything else was white heat embossed and ink blended with Distress Inks.  Rather than cut out the space inside the bike tires, I ink blended that part too to match the background.
When the kids were little we put a tandem tag-a-long on a tandem and rode on the bike trails as a family.  It was a great way to make sure everyone was keeping up!

Supplies:
Stamps: Lawn Fawn Bicycle Built for You, Happy Happy Happy, Sweet Friends, Hello Baby, Octopi My Heart
Dies:  Lawn Fawn Stitched Hillside Popup, Little Picket Fence Border, Road Border
Ink:  Versa Mark, Memento Desert Sand, London Fog, Distress Ink Spun Sugar, Picked Raspberries, Festive Berries, Twisted Citron, Mowed Lawn, Tea Dye, Gathered Twigs
Copics: 0, C00,0,1,2,3,5,6,7, 100, E000,00,21,29,31,33,35,37,49,51,53,55,57, W00,1, Y26, R00,20,32,35,37,39,81, multi-liner 0.1
Other:  SSS Fine Detail white embossing powder

This happy couple is going over to play with the following challenges:

 
Thanks for coming over to visit!  I hope you are having a wonderful day!
