MAWTT Challenge 151 - Cool Britannia (Red, White & Blue)

Morning everyone!  it's Thursday again and so time for a brand new Challenge over at 

Moving Along With the Times

This week the lovely Laurie is our host and has chosen the fab theme of.....

'Cool Britannia (Red, White & Blue)'

Well ... what better way to celebrate the Queen's Diamond Jubilee !! It's amazing to think that Elizabeth II has been on the throne for 60 years!! It doesn't have to be a card as long as you follow the red, white and blue theme - so lots of scope with this one.... we look forward to seeing all your wonderful creations...

I thought I'd have a bit of fun with this theme and also celebrate UK's Jubilee year. So I've filled the bus with Top 12 Greatest Britons of all time.... as voted by the people of Britain in 2002. See how many passengers you can recognise!! 

We are sponsored this week by the wonderful Digi My World 

who are very kindly giving this week's winner a $10 Dollar Voucher to spend in store!!

Annie over at Digi My World very kindly gave us some fab images to play with... the set we've used is called England and includes a bus, a grenadier guard, Union Jack flag (as seen on the bus), a telephone kiosk, a rose and a girl dressed in union jack dress! You can also buy the set pre-coloured if you wish..

I've coloured the London Bus digitally and even found some authentic wheels on the net! then found photos of the Top 12 Greatest Britons and placed them behind the windows. Digitally added the Cool Britannia sign. Also digitally coloured the flags and the little Grenadier Guard and popped him on top of the bus LOL - isn't he a brave little soldier!! - just hope the bus doesn't go under any bridges en route ROFL.... 

The two little flags on top of bus are from Nitwits Tour of London Set.

Scrummy Papers are Papermania Portobello Road and were a birthday gift from my daughter. I've finally broken into them and they are gorgeous!! I made the little 2012 and Jubilee Banners.

Finally as it's a Diamond Jubilee - I added two crystal gems.

It's quite a 3D card in real life but it's not showing up in the photos. I decoupaged the flags, wheels of bus. Used 3D foam pads on bus and banners.

Hope you like it.... and do pop on over to MAWTT and check out my teamies creations - they are all wonderful !!! and don't forget to check if you were a winner in last week's challenge!
