Are you like me in this way? Sometimes I stamp an image and donot seem to be inspired at that moment. But then later on as I keep looking at the stamped image sitting off to the side on desk, I pick it up and start to work on it. That happened tonight as I was working on some other cards for the Technique Junkie Stamps June Release.
I picked up this Technique Junkie Stamps March release called French Bicycle Collage http://techniquejunkies.com/french-bicycle-collage/.
I used Copic markers and lots of sponging. I swirled brown ink around the edges bringing in the color past the tire edges. Then I applied blue in the center. I added a heavier sponging on the edge of the focal image. Since the bike frame is red I knew that I would layer this focal image or red card stock. So I also applied a very light sponging with red ink on the edge of the focal image. I add a brown ribbon ruffle on the bottom of the card. I decided it need some other embellishment so I looked at some new Tim Holtz metal ribbon slides I had recently purchased. I thought this went well with this image. To highlight the letters in the metal ribbon slide i sponged on paint from Festive Berries Distress Paint daubers and let it sit for a few minutes before wiping off the excess paint on the metal surface.
The final layer was on the brown base card.
Have a great day and get inky!

That sentiment works perfectly with the bicycle. Great card.
