When he was young, my son Brady had a tough time learning how to ride a bicycle. Maybe it was in his genes. I never learned to ride a bike. I grew up on the farm riding ponies and horses. Therefore, it fell upon his dad, a city boy, to teach him the ins and outs of balancing on two wheels. The now retired Beside Me stamp set was purchased just for this image … a reminder of how father and son persevered so many years ago. I hope you enjoy this “Beside Me” masculine card. It’s Sunday and time to play with The Paper Players.
This week it the turn of the amazing LeAnne to host our monthly Clean and Simple challenge. The theme she has selected for us: Things with Wheels. I know you will have so much fun with this challenge. Be it masculine or feminine, juvenile or adult, just remember it is Clean and Simple week. Make sure your creations meet the following criteria:
Have minimal layers and embellishments
Have plenty of open space
Are simple and uncluttered
We can’t wait to see what YOU create. But before you head off to gather up your stamps, papers and inks, please stop by and leave my “Teamies” some “Comment Love”. It brightens our day!

The Stampin’ Schach Design Tips
Some images are made for coloring with Blender Pens and inks, and in my book, this is one of them. To create this “Beside Me” masculine card, I first stamped the image in Jet Black Stazon. Next, I used the following inks to color the images: Shirts – Real Red, Crushed Curry; Jeans, Short, Helmet, Handle Grips – Misty Moonlight; Hair – Pecan Pie; Shoes, Ground – Crumb Cake; Bike – Smoky Slate; Reflector – Real Red with Wink of Stella. After the image was colored, the Textured Notes rectangle die was used to cut it out. Dimensionals were used to “pop” it up on the card base, which had been embossed with the Plaster Painting 3D embossing folder. The sentiment, from the same set as the image, was stamped using Secret Sea ink. Because this was a clean and simple challenge, I kept the embellishments to a minimum, choosing to use three Opal Rounds.
