I Like to Ride My Bicycle, I Like to ride my bike...

bicycle, bicycle. Does everyone remember the queen song?

Well i love to ride mine but i'm not allowed according to my physiotherapist so this is my interpretation of me and my bike! Also this is my my first stencilled mixed media project, what do you think?

I started with an old frame and added lots of different elements.

A few buttons from The Hobby House , pearls from The Hobby House and stitched ribbon bows

Stencil is a Pronty 

Stamps are heart and spots from DRS Designs

Used some clear embossing powder

Square sentiment is Melissa Frances

Gesso, Acrylic paints and embossing powders

 Tim Holtz Distress Inks

 I used my Memory box bicycle die and Cheery Lynn Princess tree die

Keep The Faith and My 1000th Post!

Yippee! This is my 100th post and because i have  over 200, 000 blog hits i will be putting a little Candy Giveaway on my blog tomorrow to celebrate! So come back tomorrow to check it out!

Oops! I meant 1000th post!

Today i thought i would try something different!

I made a base card and embossed with my new Crafters Companion Die-sire Embossalicious butterfly folder.  I then embossed a piece of card with the same folder but inked it up with TH Distress Ink in 'Peacock Feathers'. I made a frame by using 2 dies from my new Marianne D's 'Parchment' die set and layed that over tha top. I added a sentiment cut with my Spellbinders 'Hearts Circles' die and added some gems and ribbon from my stash. 

The sentiment reads, 

Faith

Therefore being justified by faith,

we have peace with God through

our Lord Jesus Christ.

Romans 5:1

I don't normally make cards like this so i hope you like it!
