Some lovely inspiration today! After much browsing, I chose THIS picture for my inspiration.
After stamping, coloring & fussy cutting the bike, I created a slimline scene behind it by sponging in the sky & ground. The little flowers were stamped & a picket fence, grass & clouds were added. The bike & greeting flag were attached on top. p.s. I didn't realize it would be snowing, windy & temps in the teens when I made this, lol. No bike rides here!
Thanks so much for looking. It's on my blog w/ closeups & Copic colors: The Write Stuff

I am so tired of being cold this winter (7 degrees here but sunny), but I'm also reminding myself how much I hated the heat last summer. I have so many layers on today, it's ridiculous. I'm even wearing a hat inside. But....your card makes me warm and fuzzy and it's just gorgeous.

Julie, this card is beyond awesome. And I am eagerly waiting for spring to do it's thing, but we had another snowstorm today. Still about 10 inches on the ground. Ah, so ride a bike into the sunset. This is such a refreshing and inviting scene. I love it.
