I used:
- 6" x 6" square cream card stock
- deep red Core'dinations card
- paper from the fabulous Docrafts Papermania 'Portobello Road' pack
- 'Keep Calm and Carry On' topper from Tracy over at Cardmakers Delights (thanks again for the chance to play with these Tracy :) I slightly trimmed the top and bottom of the topper to keep it more in balance with the layout
- stamped crown (in 'Paris Mist') using a freebie set called 'Cool Britannia' which came with this months Quick Cards Made Easy magazine
- peel off numbers '60' from my little hoard
- lots of diamantes on the crown
I'd like to enter this card into the following challenges:
Pan Pastel - Challenge 20, Diamond Jubilee
Glitter Geeks - Week 21 Diamond Jubilee
Joanna Sheen - Remember When (I do remember the Coronation and wearing a paper crown)
The Crafty Pad - Challenge 172 - Colours of Your Flag
The Stamp Man - Card for a Queen
I've read and re-read the rules for each challenge, so I hope I got it right. Phew, unlike me, five challenges at once, not sure I could do that party trick very often!

Fantastic card Di and very fitting for a Queen. I saw those papers in my local craft shop last week and loved them along with some cute PB stamps. I was very good though and left them on the shelf.
ReplyDeleteIt's not easy getting these challenge rules right is it? I seem to have some difficulty particularly with one who keeps leaving me a message saying my entry doesn't quite fit the rules :(
Hope you have a good day, there's strange wet stuff coming down from the sky here???
