Using Garden Green ink, I stamped the smaller clump of grasses onto the piece of Mixed Up Patterns dsp. I then roughed up the edges with my scissors.

I added the bike – from the Lakeside Retreat Paper Pumpkin Kit on Dimensionals.

The sentiment, from the Banner Sayings stamp set was stamped with Garden Green ink on the small piece of Basic White card and punched it out with the Three Banner Punch before adding it to the card front.
