I want to ride my Bicycle....

Yesterday our ladies in the workshop was using the Marianne Creatables Die - Vintage Bicycle to create two cards.One for the men and the other for the ladies.

Here we have cut and folded double-sided cardstock to make a frame .(For a 6" square card cut the cardstock 14cm x 14cm ,measure in from the outside edges at 1 1/2 cm intervals and draw 4 squares,emboss these squares and then cut diagonally both ways to the outside square then fold back each section contertina style. Glue down each layer .)Back frame with co-ordinating paper or cardstock.

Embossed metal foil adds a touch of luxury.We found that it is best to use Wax Paper when die-cutting the Bicycle as the spokes of the wheels are very intricate and the wax paper will release it much easier from the die.




This card is in monochrome,but it would work in any colour scheme.We made a photo pocket using the Spellbinders Marvelous Squares,a border using the Martha Stewart border punch-Doily Lace and a Vintage Bicycle die-cut.
