CAS-ual Friday Challenge CFC #13 The Long and Short of it. {Card #2}

Hi again!

This card actually combines both the CAS-ual Friday CHallenge and  the Play Date Cafe colour Challenge 'palette' too!  (told you I loved those colours too much to stop using them! lol)

To remind you, here are the colours:

And here are the rules for the CAS Challenge:


CFC13-The Long and Short of it:  Create a 4 x 9 card and 
keep it Clean And Simple!
The idea is to embrace the (white) space.  Its a big canvas & you must resist the urge to fill it.

 
So here is my VERY Clean and simple card:

Sorry for the lighting in the above photo, it's been impossible lately!


 What little girl doesn't want a glittery bike?! (Thank you Distress Stickles!)


 Here is the bike in all it's girly-glory. love.

Can I tell y'all a secret?! I can't actually ride a bike. I mean I know what to do (duh) and I've tried to learn, but I'm essentially a 3 year old in bike-riding years. I never really learned how to, so now, I can't. Yup, I'm 31 and can't ride a bike. When I lived in Japan, this was a source of MUCH amusement to my students (who ALLLL rode bikes--even adults). So there, you know my shame lol!

But! If I did ride a bike, I'd want it to look just like this one. sparkly, pinky-gold. Just gorgeous.
It's ALL Lawn Fawn goodness on that card!

Well, that's it for me (for now!) Hope to be back very soon with more :)


Take care and thanks for looking-again!
