I'm currently having a deja vu moment and I'm totally here for it. My card today was created for today's Seize the Birthday challenge hosted by my good friend, Glenda. She chose colors for her theme and if you follow me, you know I just used this same combination earlier in the month for Color Hues. If I'm being honest, I love this card a bit more.

I riffled through my NBUS bins and decided a red bicycle would be perfect for the challenge. It is so sad that this was a 2019 purchase and it's just now seeing the light of day. Everything on this card was cut with colored cardstocks rather than my traditional white. The bike was easy to assemble but I did take a few liberties in the construction (the basket for example.) The balloon dies were swiped from a scooter set, also from 2019 but not a NBUS. I shortened the stamped birthday greeting so as to fit on my balloons. Everything was adhered to an embossed panel of kraft cardstock and card base. This card just makes me smile. (Take that as...I am probably hoarding it for myself. LOL!)
Supplies:
Spellbinders - Fun Time Cruiser ... Large Die of the Month July 2019 (sad that this is NBUS, right?)
Spellbinders - Enjoy the Ride ... Small Die of the Month May 2019 (balloons)
Spellbinders - Stylized Lattice embossing folder
Lawn Fawn - Milos ABCs alphabet stamp set
