I Want to Ride My Bicyle, I Want to Ride My Bike

 I like:
  • the vintage colors of the MME stickers then discovering I had purchased a similar MME 6x6 paper pack a ways back
  • how the diagonal of the banner striping goes along with the diagonal of the dots and that the dots give a sense of movement to the bicycle
  • the partial fence also makes your eye follow to the right in anticipation of the rest of the fence (psych!)
  • the tiny birthday in the corner
  • the bike silhouette 
  • Queen
Things I don't like:  Starting a repair on a crack in the ceiling and uncovering more than I ever wanted to know about how our house was built.  Needless to say, few cards, lots of ceiling.

The Details:  PTI kraft and white cardstock, KaiserCraft Birthday stamp,  Esse Texture Espresso cover stock, My Mind's Eye My Favorite Things 6x6 patterned cardstock and The Sweetest Thing banner sticker, Memento Rich Cocoa and Desert Sand (for vintaging up the fence), brown hemp twine, Marianne bicycle & fence die
