Spring Bike Ride by All Dressed Up Stamps for Little Patch of Crafty Friends Challenge #289 on the 1st of November 202


Hi All!
Not much cleaning upstairs during my days off at the beginning of the month, but there has been some cleaning downstairs! Oh well, next holidays!
Anyway, welcome to my post about my card for challenge #289 on the 1st of November 2026 for the Lil Patch of Crafty Friends Challenge Blog.

Here is my card:

Our sponsor for this challenge is All Dressed Up Stamps:
Prize is 2 images

I chose Spring Bike Ride, which I have digitally printed on to X-Press It Blending card and coloured with the following Copics markers:
  • skin - E000, E00, E02, E11, E13, R20
  • hair - E08, E23, E27
  • hat - B12, B14, B16, B18
  • shirt/shorts - B91, B93, B95, B97, B99
  • backpack - W1, W3
  • dog - E31, E33, E35, B91, B93
  • bike - G14, G16, G19, W3, W5, W7
  • ground - E31, E33, E35, YG95
  • sky - B0000, B000, B00
  • outline - BV00
As usual, I have taken inspiration from the wonderful Alyce at The Colouring Channel (formerly Kit and Clowder) and her fantastic monthly classes and bonus classes.

Here is a close up of the colouring before I adhered it to the card:

I die cut the image from the largest of the Postage Rectangles Die by La-La Land Crafts. I used the other half of green card (from my stash), distressed the edges with a paper distressing tool, then adhered the coloured image on to it. I then adhered the matted image on to a Kraft card from Envelope Solutions.

Here is another photo of the finished card:
