I’m linking this to the Simon Says Stamp Wednesday Challenge since they have an “Anything Goes” theme this week. I stamped it using some Distress Ink after stamping off some.

The background comes from a SU set called You’ve Got This and I love the fun scribbled look to it. I colored it with Copic markers and then added some of the accessory images. The bike images and dies were particularly handy! Since the stamp was out on my desk, it seemed like the perfect fit for my card. He opted for the Tour de France aka Le Tour de Peeps. He had to choose a country in Europe that they are studying and create a scene. Let’s face it, crafty tools make dioramas a little more tolerable. I had this bicycle stamp (Beautiful Ride from Simon Says Stamp) out because my youngest son was working on a Peeps diorama. Our hostess this week is the lovely Amy O’Neill, queen of beautiful color combinations, and she has a great sketch for us. How did a week already pass? Welcome back for another Wednesday and a great challenge from Freshly Made Sketches.

Thanks for stopping in today. Maybe I’ll see some of you around the country. The sentiment is from the same set….love it! I added a few Sparkling Clear sequins and put the image layer on a Real Red base. I stamped them all in Momento Tuxedo Black ink and colored with Copic Markers. I chose a little bag to fill with flowers. This comes from a set call Beautiful Ride by Simon Says Stamp and has lots of fun accessories that go with the bike. I love this bike and it seems to say summer to me. For the rectangle part of the sketch, I obsessed over the idea of this bike. Jen’s clean style always has special touches and this sketch reflects that wonderfully. Perfect for this amazing sketch by Jen Mitchell over at Freshly Made Sketches. So, you can see that I have summer on the brain. The boys and I have enjoyed the last couple of summer days by going to the pool and getting ice cream at a local gem called the Moo Thru. Then, the big fireworks event! And what fireworks they were! After recovering for a day, we drove for a quick weekend to visit family in Cleveland. To cool off, we visited the Museum of Natural History…one of my favorites (but glad I don’t have to choose one). We went to the Washington Nationals baseball game.

Happy Wednesday to you! I hope your week is wonderful so far! I had pretty much a perfect 4th of July last week. Have a great rest of your week and see you soon!Ĭategories Freshly Made Sketches, Newton's Nook, Simon Says Stamp, Watercolor Tags Beautiful Ride Stamp and Dies by Simon Says Stamp, Little Lilies Stamp Set and Dies by Newton's Nook Designs, Watercolor Freshly Made Sketches #345 Hop over and check out all the great cards from the DT this week at FMS and I hope you’ll join us. Out on a trip and then back to finish up some details for the big January/Creativation Release from Picket Fence Studios. Finally, I found this sweet sentiment from Simon Says Stamp’s Beautiful Ride that seemed just right for the little flowers. So a little more painting (and waiting to dry). I painted it and cut it out using the coordinating dies and then decided it would be nice to add a wash of color to the crossing panel too. But what image to use as a focal point? After scanning through, I came upon the Little Lilies set from Newton’s Nook Designs and I thought it would be perfect for the job. I thoughts I’d pull out my Daniel Smith watercolors for this one and create a bit of a wash for the rounded corner square. The amazing Jen Mitchell is our sketch designer this week and her sketch is fantastic. Another week has flown by and it is time for the newest challenge from Freshly Made Sketches.
