Le Tour Cards

Every July, for almost 20 years now, I have watched the Tour de France. I justify watching as much of the three week event as I can by using the time to work on card projects. Not that anyone needs to justify watching the Tour de France or making cards, though! 

These cards celebrate the four coveted jerseys earned during the race. The yellow jersey is worn by the best overall cyclist – the one who completes the 2,000 plus miles in the shortest time. The polka dot jersey goes to the king of the mountains, the wearer of the green jersey has the most sprint points, and the white jersey is awarded to the best young rider. My cards will certainly celebrate four of my friends, whether or not they have ever ridden a time trial.
