Happy trails ...

I have to admit to a terrible jealousy because a co-worker is resigning in order to spend more time with her family. I wish I had the financial resources to stop working but I will likely be working into my 90's in order to support my scrapbooking habit. Anyway, I made this card to wish her well on her new road.
The image is "Speedster" and is part of Phindy's Place newest collection "Summer Cuties". Isn't she just adorable? I used my Copic markers to colour her and then added some Stickles to the flowers in her romper and to the ribbons on her handlebars. I also added Glossy Accents to sections of the bike in order to give it a bit more dimension. The card sketch is from Create 4 Fun - quite a simple and versatile sketch. Everyone is thinking about summer so I'm entering this card into several challenges as follows:
