 This month we have around 16 Close To My Heart Makers/Consultants sharing their creations using this month's SOTM and other great CTMH products on their blogs. 

Today, is my oldest birthday and I decided to use this stamp set to create a birthday card for him.

He got a new bike a few weeks ago as an early birthday present.  

So, I used the bike & enjoy the ride border to create the sentiment for this card and stamped it in Charcoal ink.  I stamped the mountain border on the card base in Pewter ink.  The glacier background paper was created by scoring glacier cardstock every 1/2" both ways and then inking with Glacier ink, this was a technique that I learned during the May Album Retreat.  The yellow pattern paper is from the Happiest Place paper collection which is back as a special.  

I embellished by adding a few silver glitter gems and adding Liquid Glass to the seat, pedal and handlebar.  The bike was cut on the Cricut using the Flower Market cartridge.

I hope you enjoyed this card and I would love to hear what you think of it.

Now "Hop" on over to Maureen's Blog to see what she has created! Be sure to visit all the Consultants at their Blogs to get some great crafting ideas and other fun ideas!
