Born to be wild!

Hi everyone! The background here made by using Distress Oxides hadn't turned out so good and had been waiting to be rescued!
I added some turquoise paint through a stencil and added some paper from my spray box - I don't recall how the tree shape got there! I added the other part of the visiting card I use on Starry Night and then came across a receipt from 2015 with a couple of magazines we had bought while up at at our caravan so I just tore that out before throwing it away, then there was a piece of practice stamping with a Seth Apter stamp, a tiny piece of Italian chocolate wrapper and a leftover stamped leaf.
Finally a fancy quote from a set that I seem to have parted from its packaging! 
I am quite pleased with my rescue page! It reminds me of some of the walks we take.

 I am linking to Alison's theme at Art Journal Journey - Recycle and Collage

 Thanks for looking, Chris

    WOW, you have taken collage to an entirely new and impressive level. I so enjoyed this page. Pops of color interspersed with neutrals made this a favorite in my world. I'm delighted you shared this with us today at Art Journal Journey, dear Chris.

    It is a fabulous rescue page Chris. I think all the additions work so well together in this collage.

    Love this Chris and the colours you have chosen go together so well. As an ex-motor-biker the words drew me in straightaway.

    Have a great weekend

    Love Chrissie xx
