Keep Calm and Carry On

So, here we are at last...the eve of Kate and William's big day and London is buzzing with excitement about the Royal Wedding!! Will you all be watching? I can't wait to find out what Kate's dress looks like and which designer she chose to make it!! Regent Street and The Mall have the Union Jack flags flying high and it looks absolutely spectacular...this is why I love the city that I live in!! You can take London from the girl but you could never take the girl out of London...lol

And in honour of this Royal occasion, I thought it would be fitting to make a card to celebrate the big day...Kate, this one's for you, just in case you're looking!! hehe... I think the message probably says it all! :)

I really love the shabby chic look incorporating the Union Jack, that is popular in interior design at the moment and thought with this card, it would be nice to recreate that look but with papers, etc...hope you like what I made?

What Did I Use?

Keep Calm and Carry On Stamp: Kirsty Wiseman stamped onto Bazzill Card and embossed

Embossed Dots/Union Jack Backing Card: Kanban

UTEE melted in the Melt Pot and embossed with a Prince of Wales feather stamp

Vintage Ribbon: Creative Expressions (dyed using Brushed Corduroy Distress Ink)

Heart chipboard shape which I covered with gilding flakes

Flowers: Die cut using Tim's Tattered Florals Alterations Die & sprayed with Rich Gold Cosmic Shimmer

and last but not least...the piece de resistance...

A very special button, fit for a King or Queen that I've been saving for a special occasion in my crafty stash and attached to the vintage ribbon bow!

Whatever you might be doing tomorrow, I hope you all have a fabulous time and enjoy the day.

See you on Saturday!
