I’m back with another entry for the Hero Arts January Contest, this time for the Card Insides category. I made this set for a good friend of ours who’s been living in Italy and working at Ferrari for the past decade. To say that he loves bicycles is an understatement. He’s a world traveller and has even ridden in the mountains of Peru!

For the front of these cards, I used the International Skyline and the tiniest road bike with a sentiment from Joy Ride. For the insides, I used the larger road bike with the other sentiment on top. I made these cards with classic, masculine colours and a generic theme so he could use them in a pinch for almost any reason.
I apologize for the bad photos. The lighting wasn’t very good when I took these and I’m still trying to figure out a way to photograph groups of cards. Any tips? 🙂

Hi Emily!
These are so lovely! The colors are pretty and inside and outside are both very nice. Love your new profile photo as well, you look great!
Hugs, Wendy
Absolutely gorgeous, such a great gift. I love the CAS and the different colours.
I have sometimes found it helpful to put a couple of cards on a higher level behind the front cards (I would use books and if it looked wrong add a piece of fabric over the books.) Hope that makes sense!
These are so perfect for your friend! What a great set!
AHHHH! These are so cute! Sheesh, how do you rock the one layer card like that? I make a one layer and it looks like I was too lazy to bother trying! This is so trendy and smart looking…Great colors and design. And look at that new picture of you… 🙂
