Pink bicycle card with Stampin Up summer afternoon stamps

Hi there, thanks for popping by!

Today I am showcasing the last in the summer afternoon stamp set (just £10 with an order of £150+) and I think this is my favourite - it reminds me of my childhood and the wonderful times spent free ranging with friends on bicycles on seemingly endless summer days :)

I've teamed the stamp with some vintage style First Edition Speciality newsprint paper (126917 £11.50) sponged over with Pretty in Pink ink - this reminds me of the endless hours I spent on my bicycle in all weathers earning some pennies on my paper round ;)

 

The background & banner papers are Twitterpated (125406 £9.95), the cardstock Pretty in Pink & the stamping and colouring is in basic black and regal rose and I've finished off with some pearl basic jewels (119247 £4.50). I know when I was younger I would have loved a pale pink bike but had to make do with blue ;)

Here's a closer look at the paper flower - can you see the little pearl nestling inside?

This card is my entry for this weeks Dynamic Duos #45 Monochromatic Pinks featuring two of my favourite Stampin Up shades - pretty in pink & regal rose and follows the sketch at Sweet Stop Sketches SSS203.
