Woohoo!! It is time for another challenge at
Magnolia Down Under Challenges and this week we have a challenge to make your own embellishments. I have made my own flower, Union Jack pennants and Union Jack paper for my invitation to a BBQ in honour of the Queen's Diamond Jubilee! It is such a special year this year in the UK, we have the Queen's Diamond Jubilee AND the Olympics to celebrate - how amazing is that!?!?! I really chuckled making this card as I was 5 when the Queen celebrated her Silver Jubilee and I can still remember the street party I went to and what myself and my brother were dressed up as lol!! If I can get my Mum to find the photo I'll show you - I dressed up as the Dutch girl from the Edam Cheese advert that was on TV at the time lol and my little brother dressed up as Noddy!! LOL wouldn't it be funny to dress up as the same people for this Jubilee....now there's an idea!!! Sorry, going off track there with my memories lol - back to my card!
I used Tilda with Hamburger, Tilda's BBQ and the Invitation stamp except I masked out the Princess.... from the invitation stamp so that I could add "The Diamond Jubilee" instead. The images are coloured with copics. I added a crown charm from my stash and some gems along the bottom (diamonds!).
I have added stickles to Tilda's dress and apron - got to have a sparkly dress for the Jubilee don't you think!?
All of the flowers are from Wild Orchid Crafts except the large red and white one which I have made myself.
On the base of the easel you can see my Union Jack paper in more detail. The blue paper is from Basic Grey and the red spotty paper is from MME. I have left the tag blank until I know further details of the party!
I had great fun creating these mini Union Jack pennants! I have used the
pennant doohickey die #30 to cut the pennants from the blue paper before adding my Union Jack pattern with the red paper - really love how these turned out!
I hope you like it and I've inspired you to join us this week at
