I was running behind in making my niece Emily's birthday card so I chose to case one of my own cards to speed things up a bit: Purple Poppy Thank You by Art Deco Diva at Splitcoaststampers. The bicycle is cut using the Just Because Cricut Cartridge (at 8"). I was going for white-walled tires that are common with a beach comber bicycle, but I used paper instead of cardstock (to keep the weight and postage down), and that was not very cooperative at all so it did not turn out quite as I had hoped it would. Since I had wrestled with the bicycle assemby so long I did not want to scrap it, so I went for my age-old go to of distraction. LOL. I grew up on a farm and rode my bicycle on many a gravel roads so I decided to create a scene that evoked those memories. In the end, I was satisfied with this card. Whew!

I'm not sure what you're not satisfied with. I think it's a great mix of stamping and die cuts. I really like the soft colors and the retro look of the bike.
