Good morning peeps! I'm feeling a slight improvement in my mojo, just as well as this week it's my turn to chose the challenge at Cupcake Craft Challenge... and as 2012 is a special year for us Brits then I thought I'd go with a little photo inspiration and the theme BEST OF BRITSH! Here is my card...
And the photo inspiration (just to give you a little help)...
Take inspiration from the photo... interpret it as you wish but your creation must be obviously linked in someway to good old Blighty! I've used the colours from the teapot picture and taken inspiration from the London landmarks. I used torn paper to create the Union Jack, stamped over with the fabulous Penny Black "London" stamp. I've kept it relatively CAS as I don't want to distract from the London scene, it really is a great stamp! Although I will add it took a while to calculate and tear all the bits of paper for the flag (me and my bright ideas). Here's a close up...
We have two super sponsors this week at Cupcake, Crafty Emma's Store are offering a £10 Gift Voucher to one lucky winner... and there are some great buys to grab in the online store, and Cupcake Cards & Crafts are giving away a fab paper pack of the winners choice! Now, if you're still stuck for ideas, then pop over to the Cupcake blog, my DT buddies have come up trumps this week with some great creations! Hope you'll join in!
