Autumn Blessings Bicycle card

Did you ever have that sheet of paper that was so pretty, you didn't want to use it?   I am sure we can all relate.  Well I loved this background paper from Honey Bee Halloween Harvest paper pack and wasn't

quite sure how or when to use it.  Then I had this idea for a card, and I knew this paper was where it belonged!

I started out with a white base card and cut a slightly smaller piece of this beautiful colored paper for the background.  I then wanted to use the Honey Bee Stamps Build a Bicycle die for the bicycle which was cut from a dark copper paper, silver, and black.  It was assembled and glued to the front of the card.  The basket and pumpkins were stamped onto X-pressing Blending cardstock using Versa Claire Nocturne Ink   The basket was from the Honey Bee Stamps Riding By stamp set and the pumpkins were from the Stamp Simply Seasonal Wreaths  Fall/Winter Stamp Set.  Both were colored with copic markers. 

They were both fussy cut and arranged in a pleasing fashion.  The filler leaves and sunflower were from two different Spellbinder sets, Welcome Fall Dies and Wagon Full of Fall .  They were cut from various shades of fall colored cardstock.  A great way to use up all those scraps!  They were then placed behind and around the pumpkins as fillers .  The sunflower was adhered to the front of the basket.  

Basket and flowers were then popped up using foam squares and adhered to the card base.  The sentiment was stamped from Pink and Main Autumn Blessings stamp set.  Which is discontinued, but can be purchased here.  As a final special touch, I add some clear orange gems from my stash.  

I love the beautiful fall colors in this card.  I hope you do too!
