simple to spectacular: pedal pusher...

Morning!  Today I'm sharing cards created for Papertrey Ink's Simple to Spectacular blog feature.  We are focusing on the Pedal Pusher stamp set, which is so much fun for springtime!  The above card is my "Simple" project.  You can see all of the same elements used throughout my cards, with one or two extra steps as well go. Each card uses the Noted:  Simply Stitched A2 panel, which provides such a nice space where you can build your Pedal Pusher scene.  I love the soft effect that the Sunburst Stencil collection adds, so you'll see the sun shining in the background on each card.

For all of my cards I began with a white card base, followed by Bitty Big paper in a coordinating color.  For my simple card, I used Sweet Blush paper, for the other two, I used Aqua Mist because of the additional colors brought in as I stepped up each card.  You can see on this card, I added in a fence from the new Fence Line:  Spring stamp set, with flowers stamped near the bottom.  

On my "Spectacular" card, I added in balloons and confetti.  The balloons are from the Simple Impressions stamp set and dies and the Confetti is from the Kindness Counts stamp set.  

I had such a fun time creating this card...the sentiments in Pedal Pusher are so unique and creative and cover lots of different occasions.  

It's fun picking and choosing which images to nestle into the tiny basket on the bicycle.  Be sure to visit the Papertrey Ink blog to see what the other designers have created to share.

Thanks so much for visiting.  Hope you'll give this challenge a try.  Products are linked for you below.

Happy Wednesday!

All three cards are beautiful. Your simple version would be my spectacular version! Love the purple bike, too. I need to add Pedal Pusher to my wish list.
