Riding Pretty.....

Hello everyone: Well, finally today, after days and days of gray skies, cold temperatures, fierce winds and rain, the sun is shining bright outside, oh!!! it looks so beautiful outside my craft room windows, I have the drapes open and the light is inundating every corner of this room, which makes me so very happy.
It's still a bit chilly for a bike ride, only 38 degrees but non the less, it's a beautiful day.  I would love to go for a bike ride but I'm not to fond of freezing to death so instead, I made this card, wishing and hoping soon I it will be warm enough to go for a spin.  I will enter a few challenges at the end of this post.

This image is from Impression Obsession and the set is called "Riding Pretty". It comes with other images and sentiments, I picked the roses for the basket and the presents to stand on the bike rack.
I stamped all of this images onto Strathmore mixed media paper with Stazon black ink and colored them with SU markers and Prismacolor pencils. The flowers and gift stack were then fussy cut and placed on the bike with foam dimensionals.
The pattern paper is from Lili of the Valley (discontinued), the ribbon from my stash.  The little sentiment up there in the corner is from a Power Poppy set called Go Wild, I stamped it vertically on that little tag using the MISTI.
*******************************************************************
Here is a picture of the finished inside of my card.


The sentiment is from a Hero Arts set called "Be Happy Today".

I'm entering this card onto the following challenges.
