Cruising Through Life.....together

The first time I saw this new Lawn Fawn set I fell in love! That bicycle, pinwheels, the flag, the fabulous sentiments; they all brought me to a happy place.
I made this card for my hubby...I do love cruising through life with him. Just today we were noticing how much gray hair we are both getting and we remembered how when we were young we looked forward to growing old together. Then we laughed about how we didn't think we were old enough to look so old! Life is good!
So here's my "love note" to Al...


I will be entering this in the Stampin' Sisters in Christ challenge to make a card that encourages and use a touch of silver. I used a Faber-Castell PITT Artist Pen in silver on the bicycle handlebars and wheels; and I think knowing someone loves and appreciates you is very encouraging.
The landscaping is created with Hero Arts Large Solid Flower cling stamped in Grass Chalk Ink over the Friend Definition, which was stamped on Matte Coate cs with Versamark. The result is a fun resist effect. The coloring was done with Copic markers and the flower centers are red Stickles. The card is sized to fit a business size envelope.

~ Psalm 16:11 ~
You will show me the path of life; 
in Your presence is fullness of joy;
at Your right hand are pleasures forevermore.

blessings,
nancy

    What a sweet card! Love the scene you created and the bicycle looks great. It is such a blessing to be with your soul mate. Not everyone is that blessed. I will be celebrating 39 years with my sweetie this year and he isn't graying like me so my beautician takes care of that :-)
