Hope & Glory

Firstly, just a thank you to the ladies at the The Shabby Tearoom for putting me in their Terrific Top 3, for this card. Really pleased about that :)

And now onto the next card...

I will be putting it in these challenges:
Daring Cardmakers 'By Royal Appointment'
Totally Papercrafts 'Glitter'
Papercutz Challenge 'Anything goes'


Well I confess I had a bit of a 'mare with this! I had a really good (so I thought) idea for this project, but when I put it together it looked totally wrong and I just could not get it looking right for love nor money... I think I finally cracked it lol.

The Union jack was made with Core'dinations and cut with Labels 4 Nestibilities, and then sanded to make it shabby retro. The crown is a Prima stamp I embossed and layered it onto a Doodlebug 'Stick With It' double sided sticker and covered it in glitter to make it royally shine! Flower is Core'dinations again, scrunched, sanded and pinched to make a (bit of) a diamond shape, rose is hand rolled and sprayed in Crafters Companion Gold Spray and Sparkle. My greeting was printed and the gramophone and music note are digi cut and inked.
