Male birthday card

Apologies for my absence last week.  We had a family holiday to Tea Gardens staying at The Boathouse, and I just ran out of time to post before we left.  We have had the best holiday weatherwise for a long time, beautiful sunny days with only one rainy night, overcast day and afternoon sunshine.  Spent lots of time lazing around the pool, got through 3 books and enjoyed a boat ride to Nelson Bay with dolphins frollicking through the water beside the boat on the return trip.  A perfect way to spend a holiday.  But back to reality.  

This is a card made for my nephew who is very into bike riding.  Nothing as boring as riding around roads though.  He loves the mountain bike riding, jumping from rock to rock, sliding down hills and the dangerous stuff.  

I have used a black marker to colour the bike image from Postage Due as I didn't want all the background stuff.  I would have preferred to use the front wheel, middle section and back wheel as a sort of triptych, but there was only half of the back wheel on the stamp.

  1. This looks great, love the colours. Know what you were trying to achieve with bike, shame you couldn't, but this looks just as good xx
