A Grand Day Out

Good Afternoon

The current challenge over at Rainbow Lady's Challenge is St Georges Day/Patriotic/British.  Here is my card:


I'm really pleased with how this card has turned out.  I love Faye Whittaker's work and this image is from Joanna Sheen's cd.  I thought it was crying out to be decoupaged, so I took the image into MCS professional and made us the decoupage pieces.  I then matted the image onto the red and dark blue card.

The backing papers are also from the same cd-rom, printed onto Crafters' Companion Satin paper.  My blogging friend Edna recommended this, and I am always delighted with the results I get from it, and believe me, I've tried many papers, so a big thank you Edna MWAH.

I created the bunting using some Diamond dies from Nellie Snellen, and some red and blue bakers twine.

My card is also for the following challenges.

Ooh La La Creations - Bold and Bright
