Challenge: Transport It

6/18/2018

1 Comment

 
Planes, trains, automobiles, boats, bicycles, hot air balloons,... All of these and more (like containers, pouches, envelopes and other items used to transport things) were on the minds of the design team at Simon Says Stamp Monday for their challenge for June 18, 2018!

​And it just so happened that my Cardmaking & Papercraft magazine (Issue 183, June 2018) arrived this weekend with a cover stamp/embossing folder set that included...a bicycle!

Perfect!


This set consisted of several stamps including bicycle parts to layer and various items to accessorize   I decided to get out my MISTI and play and came up with a one-layer card that fits a transportation vehicle version of the challenge.

​I started by stamping the bicycle frame in red and then added necessities (like gears, wheels, handlebars, pedals   seat and more) in black and silver. I attached a brown basket to the handlebars and filled this basket with a bouquet of flowers. A balloon attached to the rear fender completed my method of transportation. A little scribble to ground my bicycle and a sentiment completed my card:

    Born in New Jersey, I grew up in Southeastern Ohio. Attended university at Bowling Green State University (B.Sci  in biological science, 1964), University of Southern California (M. Sci in biological science, 1967) and University of Florida (Ph. D in zoology, 1971).
    Worked in environmental consulting for a little more than a decade and then seven years as an instructor in biological science at various community colleges in California and Texas. Moved to London in 1992, then Beijing (1996) and Saudi Arabia (1998), before returning to NW Ohio in 2002. I am currently living in NW Ohio with my husband and three Bombay cats.  I love to read (mystery, science fiction, history) and stitch (have done crewel, currently experimenting with free embroidery and needlepoint but blackwork and cross stitch are my main genres); have been known to knit; and now I'm heavily into papercrafting!
    Retired upon the return to the US so lots of time for our hobbies...
