Hi there. I'm so glad you stopped by!
I am excited to be the Surprise Party Guest at
I'm wheeling my way to the party bringing balloons and gifts.
My first bicycle was yellow so I cut this fun die from watercolor paper and
used some markers to color it up.
The balloons and gifts were die cut from some smooshed mixed media paper
and it's all mounted on a piece of wallpaper.
I hope you'll join the party! As usual the Birthday Team has
some fantastic inspiration cards for you. And you can always do a anything goes
birthday card to join in. The Birthday Toppings are always optional.
I hope I'll see you at the Seize the Birthday party!

Congrats on being the party guest, Bonnie. Your memory of a yellow bike translated beautifully to your card and the balloons and gift make it a party bike.
ReplyDeleteLove It! Love It! Love It! Always so much fun when I see something new and different - So your first bike was yellow - I don't remember my first bike but I do remember ridding it a lot!! I am a balloon lady for sure - love to see them on cards. Fantastic card Bonnie - very original.

ReplyDeleteLove your yellow bike Bonnie! My first "big girl" bike was purple with a banana seat. LOL Loved that bike and I love your sweet card! the present on the back and the balloons on the handle bar are perfect for a birthday card. Plus I love that you had a yellow bike! Love yellow, such a happy and cheerful color! Hugs, Brenda

Congrats on your GD gig! This little bike is adorable, especially with those cool balloons!
ReplyDeleteLove this artsy card Bonnie. I have never used wallpaper on a card ... such a great idea!! LOVE the bright yellow bike! xx
ReplyDeleteThis card got my attention for so many reasons. Love the use of wallpaper! Who but you would have thought of that and it's the perfect, subtle print for you bicycle. Also this is the first time I've seen a bicycle die without a basket of flowers on the front. I've never seen anyone ride by with a basket of flowers (grin). I may have to have that die. Great and fun card, Bonnie!
ReplyDeleteBonnie, your card is amazing, no surprise there! I love that you made it yellow in honor of your first bike! And wow, those balloons are really getting a ride and the package is adorable sitting there. Thank you so much for being our Special Party Guest, as you are a very special person and we are so happy you are with us for the next couple of months! Heart Hugs, Col

Hello surprise party guest! What a cute birthday card. I love how the watercolor gives the bike kind of a vintage look. Funny how I can't remember the color of my first bike, but I remember my brother's RED bike because that's the one I learned to ride on. Can't look back at photos because they're all black and white, ha! Thanks for the smiles, Bonnie!
ReplyDeleteCongrats on guesting, Bonnie! Your yellow bike is as cute as it can be. What fun wheels to make those deliveries with!
ReplyDeleteSuper fun card. I love that bike.
ReplyDeleteSuch a wonderful bike Bonnie, and a fabulous card

ReplyDeleteHello Bonnie, I am so glad to have you as our Surprise Party Guest for the next months. I just saw this Spellbinders die yesterday and thought that it was perfect for this challenge. Now I see that you used it. I love the extra touch of personalization with the yellow to remind you of your first bike. I am looking forward to seeing more.
