Father's Day


I'm not sure where the weeks are going but its time again for a new challenge on Simon Says Stamps Challenge. This week is time for those men in your life either for Father's Day or A Man's card.
Photobucket

I made a side stepped card and used all the Penny Black Stamps from the London Calling range I could.
First I stamped the London Eye and Tower Bridge on the map which was copied from google and then I used Tim Holtz grid embossing folder. It was a good idea but the stamps didn't really show, in hindsight I needed to use red.
But then the fun began I used the Transparent set for the critters and the bunting and the Underground sign.


The phone box is called London Calling, once again I used acetate to make it look like a real telephone box.

Close up of the bunting

The Miniful is the main image with acetate to use for the car windows and this year I don't have to mask the number plate.
Sorry for the photo fest but I thought it needed some close ups.
Do hope you can join us and be in with a chance to win this fabulous prize. And Simon Says Stamps are also have a Design Team call so if your interested check out the Challenge blog.
