For Cindy's challenge - delighted to use this new stamp. I love the Penny Black London stamps and hope to get the one with the red bus at some stage. But this one came first, as it's more versatile. Mind you, even changing the colour I could never disguise that as an Irish phonebox since ours say Telefon.
A2 base, newsprint is Echo Park.
I stamped the image on watercolour paper and coloured with distress inks, and H2Os for the window. Image and paper edges sponged with Soot Black. I added a little pennant banner for fun, and a Woodware sentiment. 020 is the dialling code for London , but it's on temporary adhesive so that I could personalise this with the recipient's initials.

OMG! What fun this is...I am sure those little critters are waiting in line to phone home......to announce the news! I got Gold! I Got Gold! Gold it is! Hedgie got gold for the most summersaults (is that how you spell that?) in a row without getting dizzy and falling over! And Gold for Mousie....for the most cheese eaten without throwing up! I know, I know, I chose not to enter that venue....I have chosen not to watch.....there are lots of mousies that don't quite have what it takes to be an olympic champ!!
Awesome card...love your creativity!

So Cute Sabrina! What a great stamp! Phone booths are almost non-existant here in the US now with all the cell phones - and they were never a work of art like these British ones!
