Bike Ride

The January week 4 challenge on UKScrappers was

• Use a black & white photo
• Frame the photo
• Use inks/mists
• Use bling
• No more than two flowers

This is my take on the challenge using a photo of me in the box on the front of my Dad's bike.

The papers are Prima 'Bloomin Retro' from a very old Sarah's Cards kit.  I framed the photo with a square frame cut with nestability dies and made the file tab using my WRMK envelope maker.  The ink splats are from the Stampin' Up set Gorgeous Grunge and the swirl was made using a photocopy of pre-done swirl and then pricking out the pattern (thanks Anita M for that idea).

The journaling reads 'We were living in Winchcombe Road at the edge of the town centre.  Dad's pushbike had a box on the front of it and he use to put me in it and take me for rides.  Dad says I use to scream with laughter but my memory is that I was screaming with fear that I would fall out.'
