Daring Cardmakers

The colour of the month challenge at Daring Cardmakers is red and pink.  I used my newly acquired Encaustic Art to make the following picture.  This is mounted on black gloss card decorated with ribbons and card candy.  I need to keep practising with this but feel I am making some progress.
Darn it!!  ..I fiddled around too long and was too late to add it.  That will teach me to procrastineate!  LOL.

Friday Flashback.

This is a picture of my Uncle Frank - my father's elder brother.  He is proudly posed with his bike..which has solid tyres, no mudguards and only a front brake.  On the reverse is written "To Daddy from his beloved Child wishing him Many Happy Returns.  Also a safe and quick return.  Taken June 4th 1918."
This must have been sent from my grandmother to my grandfather whilst he served in WW1.  Frank was 5 1/2 years old when this was taken.  More pictures and history of  Frank to come at a later date.
