Recycled Cycle - WW1 and SFH Nov Challenges!

This page evolved from being for 1 challenge to another and then another!! I just couldn't make ny mind up, consequently it's been sitting on my table for 3 weeks half finished!! I decided to go for the White with One Challenge this month which is all about brights and flowers and the Scrap for Help which is about recycled and Christmas.

I've hidden my journalling behind a train ticket stub which reads:- Daisy loves her "grown up" recycled cycle. My Mom saw it in a council collection pile and rescued it. Granddad cleaned it up and put new handle grips and brakes on it. I finished it off with some sparkly tinsel and a new pink helmet. All in time for Santa to take it and deliver for Christmas.
The flowers are all hand made from scrap paper and punched hearts, the old train ticket and the stamped dress form were rubbed with worn lipstick Distress ink on a sponge, the tag titling from 2 old alpha sheets. The background was rubbed with an light pink ink pad that's barely got any colour then over stamped lightly with a Brilliance ink pad. This is petal shaped, in rocket red and formed flowers shapes over the old white card rescued from the back of my filing cabinet and cut down to a 10x10 size. The framing papers are from Stampin Up stock. I hope you like it and thank you for looking and any sweet comments you leave.

  15. That story was too funny, I loved how you went a couple of different directions before deciding which challenge you would eventually go for. At least his way you did some experiment, love the page it turned out beautifully.
