At last I've found some time to play so here is my postcard for The Craft Barn's Quotes and Lyrics Challenge where the words are PROUD and/or VINTAGE.
Lots of quotes and lyrics to choose from but I decided to go for the first song that popped into my head - Proud by Heather Small. I know the words are what have you done today to make you feel proud, but I've just gone for feeling proud about England ......and no, I don't mean football, it's more the English heritage, English rose etc.
The background is a swooshy mix of Festive Berries and Barn Door Distress Inks overstamped in Fired Brick with the Castle Icon stamps from Hero Arts. The Union Jack and Rose stamps are both from Oak House Studio. The Union Jack is inked with Barn Door and the Rose is gold embossed and coloured with markers. It's just finished with Tim Holtz's Lion Rampant.
I've still got the last fortnight's postcard to catch up on but hopefully I'll get it done along with some Journal52 Challenge pages too. Thanks for popping by and leaving comments - they are always much appreciated.
Love the Heraldry stamps you used and the rose is gorgeous too!

Lovely background and a nice take on the song.
ReplyDeleteAbsolutely love the background!
ReplyDeleteA fabulous piece, love all those heraldic stamps and the rose. Don't know the song as I hid during the whole Olympics thing and we don't have television anyway.
ReplyDeleteOh, I LOVE the word "swooshy." And not being from the UK, I truly enjoyed the patriotic nature of your lovely piece. I've also not heard the song, but I adore the postcard.
ReplyDeleteYes, think we have a bit more to be proud about in the tennis than football at the moment but we can always be proud of our heritage. Love how you have done the background with the union jack and the lion is fab
ReplyDeleteSorry I'm so late! Lovely postcard, great stamps xx
ReplyDeleteA lovely postcard Elaine. So patriotic. Jenny x
