Cities of the World is the new theme at Fashionable Stamping Challenges.
It was my turn to choose the theme, little did I realise that my initial title choice would have us getting our 'thinking caps on,' big style.
As we are celebrating the Queens Jubilee this year and the Olympics are fast approaching and I live in the U.K. I am off to London.
Please pop over and see the destinations that my fabulous team mates went to and get all the details.
Remember we like to see some stamping on your entry. Also we are looking forward to see where you will be visiting.
The background was randomly stamped with a stamp from Chocolate Baroque.
Next I used a mask of our Union Jack flag dabbing it with Distress Inks, Broken China and Fired Brick.
The collage stamp of London is from Crafty Individuals, with the other additions coming from my stash.
The ribbon trim was a real find last time we were in Yorkshire, I loved the row of Guardsmen.
Thank you for stopping by , I realy appreciate your comments.
Fabulous theme Yvonne I think we all had so much fun with it.
ReplyDeleteThere is so much to see on your card every time you think you have seen it all something else catches you eye.
