Tricycle

Hi everyone! I hope you're having a great weekend so far! There's a big sale going on over at Victorine Originals, 50% off all unmounted rubber stamps. Here's recent card I did using their stamps!

Back ground is done using one of the stamps that came in this unmounted sheet. I just randomly stamped it in dark chocolate Palette ink and distressed with vintage photo distress ink. I crumbled it up and then spritzed it with water to mute the ink further. Love how it came out.

The tricycle is stamped on ivory and also distressed with antique linen and a stipple brush. Tied a bow with some hemp twine after running it around the background piece a couple of times.

So, head on over to Victorine Originals to snap up some great unmounted stamps at 50% off, sale ends Sunday so hurry on over.

    I LOVE this image - I am just about "converted" on the victorian images and I love this one and how you worked it up. Great card.

    Delightful! That image is great. I wonder how they used to even ride those things.

    Cool! But (said the cyclist) that's a Penny-Farthing, not a trike.
