Hi y'all!
Are you watching Le Tour de France? Yes?! Me too! I just
love it! Not sure why, but I do {smiles}. It's the combo of the beautiful vistas, and the excitement of who might win the sprints and who can survive the mountains, and the sound of Phil Liggett's voice. He's awesome. And the comentators can just talk constantly for hours and I never get sick of their voices. That is just so weird! If only the football comentators could learn how to do that!
Anyways, in celebration of the Tour de France, here are some cards I've made recently using my Hero Arts bike stamp. I bought it from a loose box from the Art Stamps Australia stall at a show in Feb. I'm so glad I did, cos I love it!
I
LOVE this guy card I made. I think it's the chevron washi tape that really sells it for me, I love it! And the crossword paper. I think the navy and orange combo is really cool too! That's a Stampin Up sentiment along the side.
Then I finished off lots of pieces of manly Basic Grey papers on this card. I always pass by these papers in my stash cos they haven't inspired me much, but when I saw them and thought of the bike stamp I knew I was onto a winner. And I used some printed clear sticky tape on it too, which is uber cool! And an SU sentiment too!
Yes, Yvette, you might recognise a similar card to this! (It's inspired by the card I made for Yvette's birthday!) I love this turquoise and orange combo! I guess I'm into blue and orange at the moment! I love that SU sentiment too, so sweet, and different from just Happy Birthday. You could use this card for lots of occasions.
Enjoy the Tour de France! Go Cadel!!

I like Phil Liggett's voice too. He is the voice of cycling. I LOVE all the chateaus and the packed old tiny houses in the towns. It's the most beautiful setting. I always tell Dave I would love to go and watch the TDF one day, and I think he's actually remotely interested! He LOVES the tour, but you know how he feels about travelling. Well I think this is my best bet!
Forgot to say I LOVE that bike set. I love the strip of chevron washi! I love blue and orange too. Love orange.
Meh, not too keen on Cadel. I like Jenz Voight. He's mad!
As always - those cards are gorgeous!! I do adore chevron washi as well!!
The cards are gorgeous. I love the Le Tour de France, love the scenery.
