This card is for the Alpha challenge B = Bicycle. It is also for Jeans MMJ challenge.
I started out gathering the items I required for Jeans challenge which included:
2 x lolly wrappers after I had eaten the choccies
Recycled Mothers Day wrapping paper. I fussy cut a bunch of flowers out of this
A childhood memory. A bicycle, which also fits with the alpha challenge.
I had a blue bicycle when I was 5. I never had another bike until my 30s, but I did ride my brothers bicycle which was also blue. Lots of stories about that bicycle as it was way too big for me. I had lots of war wounds to show after riding it.
Back to my card. I cut the lolly wrappers up and used the floral cellophane edges and stuck them behind my stamped and torn BG layer. Look for the crinkly bits.
Fussy cut the flowers out of the wrapping paper. I now wish I had cut three bunches and layered them but too late now. They are very sparkly.
The hardest part on this card was the bicycle. I think I have only used this stamp set once before and not the bike. It just would not stamp and thank goodness for my Misti which I resorted to in the end. It was also fiddly to fussy cut and especially when cutting 3 bikes to layer. Added my usual stickles and WoS.
Stamped the sentiment and die cut a tag, adding bling and more gold.
The sticker was cut out of a vintage book.
TFL. Happy day
