Welcome - so glad to be here again and know that you visit.
I was inspired by Libby Hickson and her series of posts on the Tour de France, and her general love of bicycles to buy a set of bicycle stamps recently from Hero Arts. This is my first card using that set.

I know the recipient has ridden a lot, so this image was appropriate.

I stamped the image in black ink, and also the sentiment, and added the dark brown stitched ribbon to look like a road, adhering it under the bike.
The cream card stock was sponged with Desert Sand ink, and the brown with Cocoa ink - both inks are Memento by Tsukineko.
I kept the inside simple, but used the same card stock and sponging inks.
