Riding Pretty

I usually try to fit a few fun challenges in when I can

and saw that one of my favorite challenges "Impression Obsession" 

was "Clean and Simple" and ending today...

so I decided to put my other "work" aside and join in.

I bought this stamp set (and matching dies) a few months back...

and though I didn't use the die, I did use all IO products...

I started by using a section of the "Cloud Background" stamp...

I tore paper and "masked off" some of the stamp to just use a portion...

I like how it just gives an illusion of clouds.

Next I first stamped my bike in silver and then again in black, 

slightly offsetting to give a shadow around the bike...

I also sponged a bit of green/ blue ink around the tires....

I had to add a tiny bit of dimension and remembered as a child

we had "streamers" on the handles of our bikes, so added those.

IO products used:
CL255 Riding Pretty (bike and sentiment)
CC091 Background stamp Clouds

Pretty clean and simple......
