Get on your bike and ride.....

Good morning folks!  It's a long weekend for those of us in Canada, and we are hoping for some nice sunshine.  Hopefully the rain is finished, however, it does make pulling weeds so much easier.  Always a silver lining, and so much better than snow!  Oh, and my tulips are finally ready to flower!


And of course, now you can get out on those bikes if you are so inclined, the motorized sort or the good old pedal powered.  Neither one is for me, I have to say....feeling far too old and really, I'm a big chicken!  This card will be for my brother.  Both him and his wife have motorbikes, and I do like to kid them regarding their future adventures....

For my Just Inklined DT card this week, here is one of the images to be found on The Best of Just Inklined 2012 CD ROM.  I think it is hilarious, and I'm sure it will bring a smile.  All though I was thinking of a birthday card, it would actually work well for an anniversary card too.

Once again I've worked with my copics, cutting the image out with my Spellbinders die.  This time though, the image isn't layered.  I used the die on the DP and the image, fitting them together like a puzzle.  This makes a much lighter weight card, and worked great with these bold colours. 

The DP is from the Bo Bunny - Serenade Collection, and the sentiment is from the Wild Rose Studio - Birthday Circles set.  The only embellishment is the silver peel-off border...I'm letting the image carry the show!
