Biking Buddies

On the subject of biking buddies, one spends a lot of time with bikemates, driving to races, taking all day treks, etc. Here is a photo of my buddy Ralph riding with me on the D&H canal a couple weeks ago.

We were (sort of) pioneering the trail, had to get off and ride the road at several points, and even a little hike-a-bike. It was a great adventure!

Now onto making a card or two for (male) biking friends... I say to Hubby, "I can't put any ribbon or stitching or anything on this, can I?" He responds, "Well, if you can stitch the bike tread..." Now we're talking! Actually, he said bike thread, but he's a foreigner. We'll let that slide.

I used Mojo Monday sketch #70 as a starting point.

I'm imagining the patterned paper is a sand pit (I have cyclocross on the mind), and the front wheel of my little tricycle is slipping and sliding around. :D

Stamps: Pedaling Past; Paper: Night of Navy, Pumpkin Pie, Bashful Blue, Very Vanilla, Travel Journal DSP; Ink: Black Stazon, Basic Black, Pumpkin Pie; Accessories: Aquapainter, Platinum Shimmer Paint, Sponge dauber, Gadget Gears die, Big Shot, Sewing machine, Thread.

Thanks for stopping by!
