I would also like to enter this card in the challenge at Desmet Designs. The theme is "Things with Wheels". The prize for this challenge is 2 lovely digis. Visit the shop here.
I started with a scalloped 8"x8" card blank and coloured it with Distress Inks; Tumbled Glass, Antique Linen and Spun Sugar. I then stamped it randomly with a La Blanche text stamp in Memento Rich Cocoa. I made the backing paper in MCS by using a paper from Debbi Moore's Shabby Chic Compendium and a rose image from MCS Quintessential Country Garden. I reprinted the roses several times and used them for decoupage and one for the top corner.
I found the free vintage image of the girl on a tricycle on this fantastic website, under images of children. I made two mats, one pink and one blue, to match the colours in the photo. I coloured white twill with a Promarker and used Stazon Ink to stamp a flower border with a Kaiser Craft stamp and inserted it in between the mats.
I fashioned a bow from coloured seam binding and attached a vintage tricycle charm. I used ticket tags from Kanban and the word Journey from Kaiser Craft's Life Sentiments stamp set for the sentiment. I finished off the card with some Candi as per the sketch.
This is the current sketch. The challenge runs until Sunday 15th July, so you still have time to enter, if you haven't already.
