Bold Black Bicycle

I love Melon Mambo and Basic Black together!  I knew I'd love this week's Dynamic Duos challenge when I found out that these were the colors.   I looked at my stack of new Stampin' Up! sets to pick the right one to go along with the challenge, and I decided on the Moving Forward set (this year's Ronald McDonald House set).  I stamped the bicycle in black and then I added just a little splash of color by stamping the flowers in the basket.  I mounted some of the Melon Mambo Patterns DSP below my stamped image and then stamped the "thank you" from the Sassy Salutations set.  I finished that layer off with a bit of 1/8" black taffeta ribbon.  Once I layered that onto black and Melon Mambo card stock, I knew I wanted a white background.  I ran the card base through my Big Shot with the petals-a-plenty textured impressions folder to coordinate with the flowers in the stamped image.  I love that color challenges introduce me to new combinations, or in this case, remind me of old favorites!
