Life is Like Riding a Bicycle {ODBDLYLS18}

There's still time to play along with the June Monthly Scrapbook Challenge at Our Daily Bread Designs.  This month Patter issued a Photo Inspiration Challenge with a twist.  Using the photo (shown here) as your inspiration (think colors/theme), create a layout of any size, using ODBD stamps on your page, the twist is that you need to add something NEW to your page.

﻿﻿﻿﻿﻿ ﻿ ﻿ ﻿ ﻿ ﻿ I pulled the colors and summery theme from the photo, changing the shade of blue a bit.  As for my something new....the Bicycle and sentiment are from the new ODBD June Release; the pattern paper is from Authentique which I picked up with this scrapbook page in mind; and the Cheery Lynn Designs Mini Fanciful Flourish and Exotic Butterfly Wings are things that I purchased from the ODBD Booth while at the Milwaukee Stamp Show last month.

Because I had purchased only 1 sheet of pattern paper for my layout, I wanted to stretch the paper a bit, so I cut a 6" x 6" panel from the center so I could add layers. To add interest to the already beautiful Authentique paper, I randomly stamped the ODBD Honeycomb Background in Ranger Gathered Twigs Distress Ink. The little girl in the photo is my mom.  I only had a Black and White photo, and was inspired the Tim's Tag for June to add color to the image using Distress Inks. The Bicycle image is stamped on Vanilla card stock, cut out and colored with STAEDTLER Karat Aquarell WC Pencils/blending with Gamsol.  Do add extra dimension to the flowers, I stamped/colored them a second time and popped them up on dimensionals. To embellish my page, I used a variety of flowers and Flourishes from Zva Creative along with the Cheery Lynn Designs Exotic Butterflies and Mini Fanciful Flourish.

My page also fits the ODBDSLC - Summertime Challenge and  Simon Says Stamp and Show a Bit of Brown

This is such a beautiful layout page Lisa! I love the image of your mom. The way you've colorized her dress to coordinate with the papers you've chosen for your background papers is awesome! I love your layout design and your little stamped and colorized bicycle and picket fence! That really ties all of your theme together to nicely. The stamping, bling and flowers in your background are also so perfectly placed! Thanks for sharing your work with us at Simon Says Stamp and Show. <3 Candy

Oh my, this is spectacular. I love how you colored the image to match the blues of the paper. Your embellishments and design with photo are fantastic.

You know I just linked my June Tag and caught this out the corner of my eye and knew it would be yours! Lisa, what a great picture of your Mom! Totally stunning take on Tim's challenge! Love that you used a personal picture!
