Encouragement for a Triathlon: Biking

One of my best friends is training for her first triathalon.  She is training with 'Team in Training' and is competing to honor her brother, who recently won his battle with lymphoma.  You can find out more here.  

This is the second in a series of cards I am sending her.  The first card was to encourage her for her 10k run.  This card is to encourage her for the 40k bike ride.  The last card will be to honor her 1.5 k ocean swim.


Here is the card I made for her:











One of the interests she and I share is reading, so I made her a matching bookmark to use during those spare moments when she is not training.











Supplies Used:
Stamps:  Everyday Button Bits, All Star Team Additions, Polka Dot Basics II
Paper:  PTI:  Orange Zest, Ocean Tides, Road Trip, Fine Linen
Other:  PTI Button Die, Limitless Layers Die, Numbers Impression Plate, Quickuts Scallop Border die, SU Owl Punch, button, ribbon 


Thanks for Visiting

    I love that you made her biking encouragement an actual bike. Very good idea, love that owl bookmark too. I like the scoring around the bike on the card, adds a little extra something to the whole card.
