BIRTHDAY FUN - BICYCLES & BALLOONS

This birthday card was made using two stamps from the Unity February 2011 KOTM. I've been meaning to use them and just never got around to it until today.  I wanted to keep the card very clean and simple so I started with a white cs base and used dp from Cosmo Cricket and SU red cs . I stamped the image and sentiment with PTI Fresh Snow and then embossed it with Ultra Detail white opaque embossing powder. The image was cut out with my Nestabilities Large Deckled Rectangle and I used a SU oval punch for the sentiment. The only embellishment is red and white twine. I'm entering this into this month's Unity Stamp Co. Challenge "Sun and Fun" because bicycles bring back memories of riding, racing and summer fun (with the occasional scraped knees when hitting that patch of gravel-ouch!!).
