Good morning crafty friends!
Hard to believe it's time for another Double D Challenge and February is more than half over. Hurray to both! We're headed into spring soon and I can't wait.
The challenge theme for the next two weeks is, "Red".
Sharing a mood board to inspire and a prize being offered to a lucky winner.
I'm seeing red...
Guess which photo inspired me....LOL! Not too hard to tell. I've had this paper in my stash for quite a while. Nine years to be exact and I actually got it from Maja's booth when I met her at CHA. It's one of those pieces of patterned paper that you love and never want to use. However, it was time when I saw the challenge mood board. Thankfully, there's still three quarters of the piece remaining to use on other projects. The bicycle embellishment is from another collection and I changed the flower colors using copic markers. A couple of enamel hearts and a bit of foliage that I also changed the flower color on to match the others. The sentiment is the branding strip from the patterned paper.

Oh yes, that is fabulous paper, I can see why you hoarded it but am glad you brought it out to use, a beautiful card with the papers and all your details!!
OH WOW ... haven't heard about CHA in years (brought back memories!). LOVE that paper and understand hoarding it! Your bicycle is perfect and how smart of your to color coordinate the flowers! Just beautiful my friend!!
Ooops ... forgot to also thank you for sharing this beauty with us over on our Neglected Stuff challenge! Awesome inspiration to others!
I just LOVE what you always do with that fabulous patterned paper. The bicycles are so stinkin' awesome, and such a clever take on the challenge. I think you might adore patterned paper almost as much as I do!!!!
Vicki, what a pretty card! I love how you made the flower colors match, and used that larger bicycle as your focal point on-theme with the background paper!! Thank you for sharing your card with us at Double Trouble for our "Hoodie Hoo Day" challenge!!! -Donna
I think you might love patterned paper as much as me. I love this card, it's so unique and different, and a great take on the challenge. XO~

That bicycle die and paper couldn't be more perfect together. This is darling, Vicki! You're so clever to think of coloring the flowers to match. I can see why you were hording this paper, but I'm so glad you used it today.
First of all, I am impressed that you remember how long ago and where you bought this design paper. That being said, I think you are right that is time to use it. You did a great job on this challenge with the paper and focal image as well. A great take on this challenge.
Yes, that paper is perfect and so cute, and I love the bicycle which looks made to order! Clever you to change the color of the flowers. A purely delightful card, Vicki!
This is just Gorgeous!!! I love your layout, the design and the beautiful colors. [we arrived at our first destination, staying with daughter and SIL, who are awesome and a big house until ours is finished around july/aug x]
Wonderful job, love that background. The use of the color combo works so well on here.
Thanks for playing our Color Combo Challenge at Cupcake Inspirations Challenge. Have a great day!

Love that pretty Designer Paper with all of the red bikes--I remember having a red trike when I was little and I raced (in a loop) around the house--must have driven the parents crazy lol I adore the bike ephemera as a focal point too! This is a beauty!
Absolutely gorgeous. Love the colors and the layout. Thank you for playing with us this week at Cupcake Inspirations Challenge!!

Such a pretty and beautifully balanced card Vicki! I can see why you held onto that piece (so hard actually using the pieces of paper we fall in love with isn’t it) though it was well sacrificed in this case! Hugs,Kate!
