Running along with bunting

I think this is such a sweet image, it's from the Penny Black 'Love London' set, which is also ideal for the Olympics. And, the patriotic paper came from Forever Friend's 'Best of British' paper pack. It's a great pack and, apart from being perfect for the Jubilee and the Olympics, what's an added bonus is that the papers are double sided with more 'everyday designs' on the reverse, so they won't be wasted when all the fun and frolics are over:

I used:

- 6" x 6" square white card stock

- Penny Black image from the Penny Black 'Love London' set, stamped using Memento 'London Fog' (how appropriate!) and coloured with Pro Markers. Sentiment also from the same set, stamped in SU's 'Real Red' and the heart filled in with Pro Marker.

- paper from Forever Friend's 'Best of British' paper pack

- blue Core'dinations card for backings

- strip of red Core'dinations card, edged using a MS punch

- card candi

- little diamantes on the bunting string just to put the 'Diamond Jubilee' bit onto the card :)

I can't believe the cold, miserable weather over the past few days - I reckon these little chaps in the image should have had little pack a macks added to them!

I'm adding this into St. Luke's Charity Cards Challenge, where this month's theme is to feature a furry animal. OK, so a hedgehog is prickly but the little mouse is furry! Why not make a card and join in the fun?

And after a prompt from Jen, I'm also entering this into Digi Doodle Shop's current challenge which is 'Get the bunting out'. Ahem, it's more like wring the bunting out, yet another wet day :(

  4. great card - love the stamp, it's perfect for this year. I have to admit I've avoided all the patriotic papers thinking that after the event there wouldn't be much call for them so it's good to find that the reverse side of the papers in this pack are less themed. I'm just working on a card with a furry animal on it so may just enter the St Luke's challenge this time. Hugs, Elizabeth x

  16. Hi Di,
    I am back, but short on time so doing a quick catch up, great workdesk, I am the same with the wipes, really annoys me.
    Love the curtain tale, and I have to say that Len must be a Saint, or a guy with a great sence of humour, actually getting together with you.
    Love the crown.
    Have you recieved the Playground card?
