Scraps of blue and green created a beautiful print background for my postcard stamped from Winter Post. The bicycle is retired but a treasured stamp I'll always keep. The pink flower was crocheted by me and then layered with lace and a pearl. Velvet leaves in pink and green are tucked in behind. The bow is dyed seam binding with a sweet white button ... pins and a tag are the final toppings.
The color inspiration (navy, pink, and green) comes from the talented design team over at The Play Date Cafe. There are always amazing things to see there, you should stop by for a visit ... you'll want to add their challenges to your list of the "things I love ... "
Thanks for stopping by - good night ...

Hi Joanne! It's always a pleasure to visit your blog. Your card is very beautiful, as always. I like the bike on the postcard! I almost bought Pedaling Past at my demo's sale this summer, but didn't and regret it. It was gone when I inquired. :( So glad you made some time to play with us at The Play DAte Cafe!
