This is my second post for today. Please scroll down for my Winter Wonderland card.
Regular readers will know that I have been making some show samples for Stamposaurus and I had so much fun making cards with these vintage patriotic stamps. For this one I used Papermania Portobello Road papers and Core'dinations which have all been distressed and stapled. I tried out 2 techniques I've never tried before. The first was heat embossing the 2 Union Jacks and then using DI Worn Lipstick, the second was stamping the button border onto the ribbon. I also wanted a frayed look to the ribbons rather than wrapping them around the paper as I normally would. I then used one of the bunting stamps and coloured the flags with Promarkers and added a large button with Baker's twine. The Keep Calm and Carry On stamp is also part of the set.
