The Card Concept #94

Welcome to another fun challenge at


Summer is almost here and I think this picture illustrates summer time perfectly!

I was inspired by the red bike and yellow flowers in the photo!


I made the darling little basket of flowers with a Stamps of Life stamp set called
Bicycle2stamp. Yes, I chose this stamp set for the bicycle, with all intentions of using the bicycle!
But...I kept adding flowers to the little basket and 2 things happened!
The basket was now too big for the bicycle and I loved the basket just like it was!
So I left the bike off the card!!!


Do you ever do that???
Start with a plan and end up with something totally different???
Oh well!


I hope I have inspired you to join us here at

Card Concept Challenge #92-Bold Bloom




Welcome to the new challenge starting today at the

I fell in love with that bold bloom in the photo inspiration!


I decided to make this a Mother's Day card! 
For the bloom I used the CAMELLIA Build-A-Card stamp set from Altenew.


MOM was created with new dies from
