Rule Britannia...

We just started a new blogging group on SCS for graduates of the 100 cards in 100 days challenge called "A Card A Day". Well, I am not managing to make a card a day thus far, but I am doing my best!

Anyway we decided to start a mini-challenge every week - and this week I set the challenge "London Calling" - to have something to do with London/the British - inspired by the Olympics!

Here's my take on it...

My Union Jack came out a bit wonky donkey (as we say in Lancashire!) but I like it anyway! It's such a clever stamp set - Keep Calm by Amuse Studio. The cleverness is the fact that the image is made up of two stamps - one for the traditionally "red" parts and one for the traditionally "blue" parts.

My sentiment is from Simon Says Stamps "Absolutely Delightful". I actually wanted to put "Brilliant" but I don't have a stamp saying that, clearly this is a hole in my stash as I say the word 20 bazillion times a day!

I used Pool Party, Island Indigo, Calypso Coral, Primrose Petals, Sahara Sand, Summer Starfruit, Lucky Limeade and Wisteria Wonder SU! marker pens. Nice eh?! :D

I may yet do more British inspired cards. It is after all my nationality! Another project I got done today was Jacob's Lego bag. I've been meaning to make one for a while, as Leo is getting alarmingly mobile and Jacob is obsessed with Lego at the moment. These things aren't really compatible. So I used this fabby tutorial to make a Dino Lego Bag! I'll try to snap some pics tomorrow.
