When I saw the Freshly Made Sketches challenge, for some reason, this 3 image that represent the 3 sports of Triathlon, came to my mind. Perhaps it's because this sport has, and still is, such a big part of who I am, and also, because there is hardly any day that I'm not doing at least one of this disciplines, either at the Y or at home. So, here is my card.
I don't own any Triathlon stamps, I don't think there are any out there so, I Google this images and just hand drew them, in pencil first and then, finished them with the black Prismacolor pencil and a paper stump dipped in baby oil.
The sentiment says it all for me!!!
So there you have it, a simple card celebrating the amazing sport of Triathlon, which I so love.
Here is the sketch that inspired this card.
Thank you for visiting, have a great Halloween weekend.
Hugs from Maria.

Wonder if they have one for....Spider Collectors ?
Yup!! I'm looking for something like this plus some kind of art image to put up there at the top of the page.
This images didn't turned out all that bad, I wanted more definition but my black marker is dry.
I'm going to look for some spider collector stamps, in the mean time, some will be in the mail for you, Tee Hee!!

Thank you TaeEun, the sport of Triathlon is a big part of my life, that is why I named my blog ''Swim,Bike,Run and Stamp". So happy you liked this card.
I love the triathlon theme, just starting out at 46 and aiming for my first sprint tri next year, you are an inspiration!
