Happy First Sunday of Spring, everyone!
We continue to have awesome weather here, which is a blessing when you are having your home remodeled. One more week and then we will get a little break before the next round of renovations.
The theme at Sunday Postcard Art this week is hosted by Marion and she has chosen Bicycle.
I used an Impression Obsession bicycle stamp and die on separate white card and colored it with markers and silver colored pencil. For the background scenery on my 4x6 card, I stamped a Nellie Snellen Idyllic scene that's supposed to be Winter but I thought it worked fine for Spring, too. The scene was also heat-embossed with clear powder and colored with watercolors.
The sentiment is from Artistic Outpost's A Lovely Day stamp set.
While I have used the bicycle before, the other stamps were first time use.
Now, wouldn't that be a nice place to take a little ride?
**********************
I used my Katy Sue Designs Flowers 3D Decoupage kit hydrangea image, Prima Pretty Pale designer papers and some navy, periwinkle and brown card stock scraps to make this. The card base is Bazzill.
And the sketch I used, stretched to 6x6.
*************************
No, you aren't seeing double, lol. I had found another sketch very similar to the first hydrangea card sketch, so I decided to make another hydrangea card using the second sketch while I had the papers and decoupage images out. On this second card, I tried stamping some Rubbernecker hydrangeas on the brown horizontal strip and heat embossing with white powder. I do like the effect peeking out, adds texture. Everything else used is same as first card.
And the sketch I used, stretched to 6x6.

I ordered the onesie die from Amazon. It came with the cute bib, snaps, bowtie and Sweet Baby words.
I used designer papers by Foof-a-la Peekaboo Collection and SU baby blue card stock. The baby alligator is a Frantic Stamper die I won last year and had not yet used. The blessings sentiment is by Cottage Cutz and the blue and white heart die is by Sizzix. I cut the blue oval behind the onesie using a Spellbinders die.

Thanks for the visit today!
I hope your week goes well and you get some time to be crafty!
Hope to see ya here again next Sunday

What a bright and sunny card!
lovely bicycle card.
Wow...what beautiful cards. Very interesting, I like that you provided the sketches as well.
Wow, that bicycle post care is gorgeous. I like that scene. It's so pretty, and the bike works great with it. I'd like to bicycle there to. And your hydrangea and baby cards are adorable. I like that little gator on the baby card. Glad your weather is holding out and that this renovation is happening and almost done. I have friend who's been doing some renovations that seem to be going on for months and it's not even that big of a job. Have a great last week of March. hugs-Erika
Beautiful cards Aimes! Love how you turned a winter stamp into spring. Way to go with the SCS sketch too. I have such a hard time with sketches for some reason. Praying you continue to get good weather for the remodel and pain free days during it too.
Ha ha ha, no smell at all in the pouches, the food is in plastic tubes, 4 tubes per packet and cost a fortune to feed this spoilt cat..

OH! Aimes, your cards are so beautiful. I love the scene you created on your first card, such a bright and happy card. The hydrangea cards are gorgeous, different but both wonderful. The baby card is so adorable, a baby boy, a blessing indeed, so lovely. x
That bicycle scene is stunning - coloured so beautifully! And the hydrangeas... my card is on display for all to see and I love it! Thank you :)
