Bicycle Greeting Card with Fall Flowers

I had such a good time making this bicycle greeting card with the pretty fall colored flowers loaded in the basket and around the wheels.  I arranged the scene on a simple background so the bicycle was the main feature.  It is amazing to me how a handful of dies can be used to create such a pretty scene.  I used the Rubbernecker Nested Rectangle Scallop with Holes, Bicycle, Stitched Hills, Small Ivy and Tiny Flower Buds.

Card Base and Scene Layer

• Cut an A2 sized card base using white cardstock.
• Use white cardstock to cut the scalloped rectangle and teal cardstock to cut the background layer.
• Apply masking tape around the borders of the scalloped layer.
• Use Beachside ink and a blender brush to apply the blue sky background on the scalloped layer.
• Attach the teal layer to the card base using ATG adhesive.
• Apply strips of mounting tape to the back of the scalloped layer and attach to the card base.

Assemble the Bicycle and Flower Basket

• Cut the bicycle out using aqua, gray and black cardstock.
• Assemble the pieces and attach together using glossy accents.
• Cut the flowers using yellow cardstock and the ivy using green cardstock.
• Color the flowers using Apricot ink and a mini applicator.
• Apply a small dot of brown ink to the center of each flower and then form them using a small tipped stylus and molding pad.
• Cut the basket in gray and color using a mini applicator and Caramel ink.
• Attach a few ivy stems and tiny flowers to the basket using glossy accents.
• Attach the basket to the bicycle using glossy accents.

Finish the Bicycle Greeting Card

• Cut the stitched grass layer using green cardstock and attach it to the scene base using a strip of mounting tape.
• Tuck the bicycle in behind the grass layer and attach using small pieces of mounting tape.
• Tuck flower and ivy sections around the tires and attach using glossy accents.
