Keep calm and pedal on

     Can you believe it!  I made a stair step card!  LOL  Had this fun Girlfriends image inked up and stamped laying on my work table.  I knew I wanted to "make a scene"(pun intended  hee hee).  It just took me a little while to figure out how I was going to go about it.  I used one of Beate Johns fantastic tutorials at Splitcoast Stampers here to make the base and then created the scene for my biking gals.  Here's a side view.

     It's kind of hard to see but the gray mat has some scored lines in it to make it look like a sidewalk.  The girls are attached to this layer.  The next layer back is grass, a fence and some tiny little flowers.  I used my embosser to give the flowers a little shape and then added rhinestones colored with Copics for their centers.  The last layer is the sky, complete with some puffy white clouds and one of the sentiments from the Pedal Pushers stamp set from Art Impressions.  All I can say is that gal in the pink needs to go to the Olympics.  LOL
     I'd like to enter my card in these challenges:

Great Impressions--celebrations

     Hope I gave you a smile to start off your week.
