simon says stamp classic bicycle - his, hers, theirs

Know what today is? It's Simon Says Stamp Good Vibes release day!

I've got a few cards made with one of the fun dies from this release - Classic Bicycle.

First, for him. Wouldn't necessarily have to be, but I was thinking masculine when I made this. Perhaps cuz I have a DH who goes on a bike trip once a year with his buddies. And I have no idea if there are wooden bikes, but if anyone makes one, probably a fabulous, young company in Detroit called Shinola ;)

I thought the illusion of a forest was a fitting background. And why not stamp a little sentiment onto a geocaching tag? Getting some good summer vibes?

Next, for her. A shiny red one. In a nod to Kate Spade...

And how about one for the kids? Balloons are always a good idea, agree? I dabbed Distress Ink onto vellum and die cut the balloons from it when it was dry.

This shot was in full sunlight so you can see the neon pink and that incredible sparkle

I actually made a card with this design ages ago and then again here and decided to update it a bit cuz I really wanted to participate in The Flower Challenge! And try out my new Tonic Glitter Paste (Moonstone). I heat embossed the peony onto a leftover from a marbling with acrylic paint session and fussy cut it. I'm calling that paper piecing ;)
