The Royal Arrival

I made this card for my cousin's daughter's newborn daughter Sophia aka my third cousin. I am on a right royal roll these days since my last card also had a royal motif.

 I got out my L Letterpress machine and letterpress plates and used hot pink ink to make the trellis background. The carriage is an SVG  I made in SCAL and cut on the Silhouette Cameo cutting machine using white paper and then inked with angel pink dye ink. I also used  Michael's silver glitter ribbon and ivory satin ribbon, pearl, rhinestones, and a fabric rose. The banner was designed in Photoshop using a banner brush and the font used was Some Weatz Swashes, it was then printed and fussy cut and elevated on foam dots.

 I must find some challenges for this card too.

God Save the Queen

In honour of The Queen's Diamond Jubilee year here is a picture from the  Sex Pistol's album cover banned during her 25th year Silver Jubilee in 1977.

I have always loved this image. The sentiment was made using the Dynamo Label maker. I love the combination of gingham and lace with this edgy picture.
