Miss you ...

Hello sweet blog friends ... I hope you are enjoying your weekend ... My hubby can now drive again and today he took my friend and I to Salford Quays for some retail therapy ... what a lovely day we had ... and maybe because it has been a good day I was able to come home and make a little card for a new challenge ( new to me that is ... ) over at Jay Gee's Nook ...
I was so inspired by the work of the DT and also by this beautiful picture 


... that I knew exactly what I wanted to do ... and that's unusual for me ...
I usually just go where my hands take me ... I think it may have been the bicycle ... and the gorgeous bluish ... turquoise colour ... anyway this is my card ...


a mix here of digital text paper from Jen Allyson (Antique prints)  and some of my gorgeous Tim Holtz paper ... 
The bicycle ... or rather tricycle ... is a digital stamp from Stacey Marks (Birds blooms and bicycles) ...


The sentiment is computer generated ... I don't know why 'Miss you' ... it just seemed to fit ...

Enjoy the rest of your weekend ...

Till soon

Wow dearie; everything on this hand made beauty is spot on the challenge. The colors; the "look and feel" and the tricycle is the cherry on the pie/icing on the cake (depends on what you prefer :)..)
The subtle almost "powdered" colors took my breath away. Your card turned out fabulous; that didn't surprise me. They usually do... Have a wonderful evening...XXXXX

This is stunning Ros! I love the papers you have used and that tricycle is gorgeous. The flower and paper pieced leaves are the perfect touch. So glad you found us and decided to join us at Jay Gee's :)

What a great card, Ros!
The bike seems a bit lonely, so the sentiment is more than perfect for this card!
I love the decent colour of the rose and the style of the leaves is gorgeous, too!
Your card is really a stunner!
