At our little Birthing Centre we have started a very small and exclusive cycling club (lycra shorts are banned), and although our stated intention is to get fit, actually the hidden agenda is that we always end up at a pub! And these evening expeditions are always along the towpath of the Kennet and Avon canal, so its flat all the way. Well, we don't want to arrive for that refreshing drink all hot and bothered.
I was very pleased to recieve a comission from my fellow cycle club members to design a club badge, and after several prototypes here is the finished design.
I've got 10 little shrink plastic bicycles now waiting to be stuck to the badges. Both stamps I've used are by Tim Holtz, and I've used Jet Black Archival Ink and Vintage Photo Distress Ink. The ticket is just mounted on some stiff black card, and I've been busy with the silicone glue sticking pins to the backs of the badges. Here is a little pile of finished ones.
I am entering my badges in the Gingersnap Challenge, On the Road, and also this weeks Sunday Stamper where the theme is Black.

Oh Sue, how cool are these???? I think they are fantastic and so clever of you to design something like this. Where did that little bicycle come from, I adore it?
I hope you are having a good weekend.

Love these! Perfect little bikes!
This is just my sort of club and my type of cycling. You can keep the hills. I wish I was part of your club. Maybe next time we could add a cycle ride to our get together. A bit of crafting, a bit of cycling, early evening meal, a bit more crafting or wine drinking. We could always continue crafting the following day! Sounds good.
Oh and Sue and I would need badges too!
Great entry to Gingers, thanks.
Ohhhhh.... these are super! We shall all want to join in the club especially if the pub is involved. Thank you for playing along with us at Gingersnaps.
Sue, this is fantastic! Love your shrinky bike! Lately I have been playing with shrink plastic and just love it!!
These are brilliant! So clever.
Just wonderful! Great work!
