Challenge 2 at ATDML was all about jubilee bunting. Although I made a layout about my son celebrating his birthday with a jubilee party I didn't add any bunting, I was inspired however to make some jubilee cards with bunting
The bunting was actually made using a triangle punch and left over jubilee paper chains in red, white and blue. Another piece of bunting was attached to a cocktail stick to make the flag used on most of the cards. I used some Portobello Road papers, some freebie ones and some colour appropriate ones from my stash. A stamped and embossed gold crown on gold paper completed the card.
I decided to send these cards as 'Happy Mail inspired by the wonderful Ginger and her Mail Art Exchange so they have been sent out mostly to America, one to Spain and one to the UK (which I know has arrived!) So watch your mail boxes ladies as there could be a little package arriving any day now!
Wow, look at you posting away!!! (pun totally intended). loving the layouts, cards & fun looking packages.
ReplyDeleteLovely bunting cards.
ReplyDeleteyour card look lovely and those are pretty parcels.
ReplyDeleteMy package arrived last week (did you get my email?) and it totally made my day. I blogged about it here (http://melissagross.blogspot.com/2012/06/surprise-happy-mail.html). Thank you so much - I really enjoyed those chocolates while I was scrapping one afternoon & I'll smile everytime I use my new British tea towel!
ReplyDeleteThese are very cheerful! A triangle punch sounds a great idea for the bunting. Mine are always wonky...
