How did a week already pass? Welcome back for another Wednesday and a great challenge from Freshly Made Sketches. Our hostess this week is the lovely Amy O’Neill, queen of beautiful color combinations, and she has a great sketch for us.
I had this bicycle stamp (Beautiful Ride from Simon Says Stamp) out because my youngest son was working on a Peeps diorama. Let’s face it, crafty tools make dioramas a little more tolerable. He had to choose a country in Europe that they are studying and create a scene. He opted for the Tour de France aka Le Tour de Peeps. The bike images and dies were particularly handy! Since the stamp was out on my desk, it seemed like the perfect fit for my card. I colored it with Copic markers and then added some of the accessory images. The background comes from a SU set called You’ve Got This and I love the fun scribbled look to it. I stamped it using some Distress Ink after stamping off some. The sentiment is from the bike set.
I’m linking this to the Simon Says Stamp Wednesday Challenge since they have an “Anything Goes” theme this week. Also, they are featuring Newton’s Nook Designs so you can bet I’ll be playing again this week!
I hope you have fun with this one. As always the team has such a variety of projects and you are sure to be inspired. Hope you have a great day!

Oh, I love this sweet bicycle! And I love how you’ve used the sketch — that sunny yellow background is perfect. Such a sweet card, Jen! And I’d say that diorama deserves an A+ for creativity — so cute.
Totally delightful! And I love the shoe box scene! I remember those days!
I love the black strip anchoring the bicycle against that great yellow background. Love the whole design!…and ‘someone’ deserves a Yellow Jersey!!! for a great Tour de Peeps diorama! I particularly like the spectator peeps holding the banners! 😀
I’m not a great fan of the “Tour de france” but I’m definitely a great fan of your card, Jen! I love this bicycle so much. And the yellow scribble makes such a perfect background.
Oh…perfection, Jennifer! Love the bike image and how you used it! Thanks so much for playing Simon Says Stamp Wednesday “Anything Goes” Challenge! Beautiful colors and design. Well done!
What a fantastic take on the sketch! So clever that your bicycle riding peeps inspired this card!
This is such a great card Jen! I love that bicycle and the sweet flowers! Your colouring is amazing (as always!)! Love the diorama. Those peeps look like they could tackle those mountains in France!!!!
I’m not sure whether the card or the diorama is cuter!!
Such a fun card! I love that bicycle and have an upcoming DT card using it. Your son’s diorama is so cute!
What a fabulous card! I love this bike – such a fab take on the sketch. The sentiment is a great one too to pair with your image!
