I LOVE these Papermania papers.
Shabby chic comes to GB! Ha Ha!
I'm getting all excited for the Olympics now
and thought I'd make a card to celebrate the occasion as well as a birthday.
Must admit, thast rosette looks a bit as if it belongs in the Southern States of America to me.
Does it look a bit confederate to you too, or is it just me?
I used paper from two different Papermania pads.
The background papers with the bunting and the dark blue band with the crowns on, are from Forever Friends' 'The best of British'.
The rosette, airmail envie and the sentiment tag are from the Papermania set
'Portabello Road'.
16 days to go until the Olympics!!
(Hope it stops flippin' raining before then)!

Viv ~ Well this is just GORGEOUS! I LOVE the gingham rosette ~ North or South over here I LOVE it! I think it is just so neat that we share the same colors for our countries! I LOVE the red, white and blue! I really need you ALL to send the rain my way!!! Just keep pushing it our way! I am so excited for the Olympics to start! What a GREAT time for your counrty and ALL countries!!!
Looky at you using a skewed panel - I bow in your presence ;) The rosette is fabulous and hold on for a great ride with hosting the Olympics. Just lvoed it when we had the Winter Olympics. Such an amazing atmosphere!! Make sure you get out and check things out - no need to go tho the venues, just enjoy all the free stuff and the fun atmosphere :)
Looks great. What an outstanding card. I can see why you think the rosette looks confederate, but it doesn't cry it out. I just bought two Penny Black stamps in honour of the olympics. Critters in a mini and critters on a double decker bus. Perfect for my trip to the UK. I'm working on my scrapbook now and will add photos later. I just ordered a package of UK paper. Can let you know deets when it comes in. Have a super day my friend!
So beautiful Viv! It does look a littler Southern but I still love it :)
