Z is for ZOOM!

Hello there friends and welcome to April already!  I do not know if this year seems to be flying by because I’ve been busy with life or it’s just flying by anyway!  Speaking of things flying by…

Today starts up a new challenge over at the Alphabet Challenge Blog!  We are on the last letter of the alphabet this time and the hostess has chosen “Z” is for ZOOM (anything that goes fast) for the theme.  *Remember that this is a bi-weekly challenge, so you have two weeks to enter*  I hope you will find some time to join us in the gallery!  Here’s what I’ve created:

How cute is that pup standing on the bike seat to look over his bird friend perched on the basket!  The name of these adorable animal friends are called “Gus & Gertie” which are a set of characters designed by Taylored Expressions. (If you click on the link, you can see the full line of them.)  The set I’ve chosen is called Gus & Gertie Best Buds.  I like these animals because they’re very easy to color!

I could’ve chosen the airplane from the set, but I kept thinking of those electric bikes & scooters you can rent from cities and they seem to go really fast when I see kids whizzing by on them! LOL

I kept my scene in a circle and added some clouds in the background that I stenciled in and then layered some hills/slopes and a grass border on the front.  I just popped the “ride or die” sentiment at the top and attached the die cut image with foam tape.  I layered the scene onto a black circle base that was attached to a red brick embossed background.  All was attached to a top folding A2 white card base.

That’s all for me today!  Thanks so much for checking in with me as I enjoy reading what you have to say!  Enjoy your weekend and I’ll see you soon!

  13. What a delightful scene you’ve created! The charming dynamic between Gus and Gertie brings a sense of joy and whimsy. The layered elements and embossed brick background add great depth to the design, and the stenciled clouds perfectly complete the lively atmosphere. This card truly embodies the spirit of the ‘zoom’ theme in such a fun and creative way.
