fun in the sun!

Howdy Everyone!
I can say that because we are smack in the middle of the Calgary Stampede! So I guess I'm getting a little bit festive. ;)

I have a super quick card to share today. I found this cute Hero Arts stamp on sale at Michaels a while ago, and have had some ideas for it. Then I found this fabulous digital paper pack by Echo Park and this sort of sunburst pattern was perfect.
When I was visiting my friend in Abbotsford, I saw this gorgeous mural that I though would make a wonderful card. This is as close as I can come to re-creating it for now.

I am now wishing I had double stamped the black to make it a little bit more stark but, oh well, it is what it is! The sentiment is Paper Smooches from their "spiffy scooters" set. I thought it would work, the kids are kinda skipping/scooting along. Yes?

Thanks so much for stopping by. I hope everyone has a wonderful weekend! I am off to Vernon, BC to go mountain biking with my hubby. A much needed trip away.

    Girl we are so much alike! I have been dying to get this stamp from Michaels. The chances of it ever getting in the 1$ bin is probably rare, so I might have to splurge. LOL! Hope your doing well and have a fun time mountain biking!

    WOW! Kasia I LOVE your card! The EP paper is so bold but the silhouettes look perfect against it. Sorry I've been such a bad blogger commenter lately. I've been enjoying seeing your cards in my feed! :)
