St George

Here's a card I've made for Less is More week 64 where the challenge is to use a Charm.


Tricky one this as I found a few charms but no stamps to go with them. Then I found my kettle = tea and as tomorrow is St George's Day I thought I'd go with something typically English.

 So I've used red ribbons to create the flag and then Tim Holtz's Lion Rampant - masked this off and stamped the Union Jack in Barn Door Distress ink which gives a watery effect. In the other corner I've used the English Rose from Oak House Studio and just finished with the kettle charm.

Hope you like and thanks for looking. Thanks also for the comments people have left over the last few weeks and hello to my new followers.
