The Bike Ride

Some years ago my daughter while my daughter was doing her Bike Education course in Primary School, she was entered into (by her school) a competition to win a bike and was lucky enough to have her name drawn out. Part of the conditions of the competition were to be available to collect the bike and to do a lap of the course on which the Bendigo Madison was ridden. She was excited and nervous, the weather was hot but she proudly rode her new bike around the course and has never forgotten the experience.
Materials used: Cosmo Cricket papers and stickers (Get Happy), WOW inc RW Laser Cuts chipboard word, small tree and letter R, Glossy Accents crackle finish, Tim Holtz Distress stain and inks, Martha Stewart punch and random elements from the stash.
Technique - The title - Bike Ride - has been inked using Tim Holtz Fired Brick Distress Stain and glazed with a layer of Glossy Accents Crackle finish, the small tree has been inked using Tim Holtz Distress Stain Picket Fence and the letter R (cut from another RW word) was colored with Tim Holtz Distress Stain Chipped Sapphire and a dab of Picket Fence for a mottled look. This letter has been sealed with the Glossy Accents Crackle finish. The letter U is a chipboard and simply covered with paper.
All these products are/will be available (the Tim Holtz products will be in Monday or Tuesday next week) on our website An Invitation To Scrap I've been extremely impressed with the way these products work on chipboard, the distress stain in the white gives an excellent coverage and the dabber bottles are brilliant to use.
