Oops!

This layout is for the mid month challenge at About a Boy.  The challenge was to use White with one other colour.
I thought I'd do a boyish page that didn't include a person and I think this says it all.
I started with white cardstock that I stamped with a combination of inks to get the desired red colour that was on the chipboard frame.  It was difficult to get the right colour because the chipboard was painted but not gessoed so the colour wasn't true.  I used a combination of washi tapes with chipboard cogs (from Dusty Attic) and twine for my embellishments.
So there you have it I used White and Red.
