I pulled out another soon-to-be retired Stampin’ Up! hostess exclusive stamp set called Life’s Adventure to create my card to share today.

My card design was inspired by Sweet Sunday Sketch Challenge #266.

I started by adhering the striped panel from the Painted Blooms DSP pack to a panel of the solid yellow paper from the Painted Blooms DSP pack with SNAIL, then to a Real Red card base with Stampin’ Dimensionals.

I stamped the bike image from the Life’s Adventure stamp set in StazOn Jet Black ink on a panel of Whisper White card stock and I colored the image with my Real Red, Daffodil Delight and Smoky Slate Stampin’ Write Markers.  I punched the image out with the 2-1/2″ Circle Punch and adhered it with SNAIL to a circle that I’d cut from Real Red card stock with a Circles Collection Framelits Die, then to the card front with Stampin’ Dimensionals.

I stamped the sentiment from the Life’s Adventure stamp set in Real ink on a strip of Painted Blooms DSP.  I punched the end of the strip with the Hexagon Punch and adhered the sentiment with SNAIL to the card front.

I punched a 1/2″ Circle from Real Red card stock and I adhered one of the Itty Bitty Accents Epoxy Stickers to it, then adhered it to the card front with a Glue Dot.  I adhered one of the smaller Itty Bitty Accents Epoxy Stickers to a piece of Real Red card stock and I used my Paper Snips to trim around it, then I adhered it to the card front with a Glue Dot.  I colored a Rhinestone Basic Jewel with a Red Sharpie Marker and I adhered that the the card front to finish it.

I adhered a Whisper White card stock panel to a Daffodil Delight card stock panel, then added a strip of the Painted Blooms DSP to finish the inside of the card.
