My friend Joanie put in a card request for our friend Erin a year ago, giving me plenty of time to create something special for Erin's 75th Birthday. Joanie wanted a bicycle (and wanted me to replicate the paint job on Erin's bike) and 75 in the wheels. Here's my finished product.
I started out with a die cut bicycle on neenah card stock. I played with all the mediums I had to try and create the beautiful paint job on Erin's bike. Her bike changes from purple to a soft teal blue color depending on how the sun hits it. I ended up using copics for the base color of the bike then I added Grape Soda Smooch to the purple and a Wink of Stella to the teal blue. I colored the rest of the bike with copics as well, adding Black Smooch to the tires, handlebars, cranks, and saddle. I die cut Little Numbers in Pool Party, added some Stickles to the numbers, then mounted them on the wheels with pop dots. I die cut Fast Track in Black, then mounted everything on a layer of white with a Pool Party card base. The sentiment is from the Pure Innocence Piggy Bank Set.
Erin racing earlier, she's an inspiration for sure!
Thank you for stopping by!
