This is for Ann's Alpha "R" challenge of Ride.....
Top fold card, I blocked off areas to sponge using frog tape (delicate surface). The words course de velo on this stamp means to go cycling and our friend in Belgium loves to get out on his racing bike. I chose the flag colors of Belgium: black, yellow, red using the closest colors of oxides. This will be his birthday card in August this year.
Ann, this was a fun challenge. Thanks for the inspiration to get this birthday card made.

Oh, Shirl, I love your sponged color blocks!! What a wonderful custom designed card for your friend in Belgium! Great idea to add the heart to carry through the color of the lower stripe. He's sure to love this!

Beautifully designed! Awesome R challenge. Using the Belgium flag colors is clever. Excellent design, silhouette bike, and headline are all perfect!
