Numbers? How easy could that be? And yet this card didn't come easily to me. I found this great number paper (on the back of the striped paper surrounding the bicycle) and thought WOW ! I like that paper. The bicycle was stamped on a tag after I had grunged it up with Glimmer Mist and Distress Ink - this is a Technique Junkies' method called ANTIQUED GLIMMERS. I cut the bicycle out but it was just wasn't popping against the numbered background - so I used the striped side of the paper too! I wrapped Scrapper Floss (I LOVE THAT STUFF) under the bike and added a Tim charm. And after looking at it for a while longer, I took my favorite number collage stamp and stamped over the bike. If you look closely you can see the numbers - but mostly it looks like a brick wall.Stamps: Stampers Anonymous PEN AND PENCIL
