This fun challenge inspired me to use dp copied from a fabric print of the palace guards in London. The quote is from Winston Churchill. Penny Black has the image of the guard in the guard house, I cut the chicks off and put glossy accents to add deminsion to the guard. Popped it up on a spellbinders label die cut from black with a red oval in the middle. The Bow isn't quite so smooshed irl. Hope it is as fun to receive as it was to make!

The bg paper you created is the bees knees. I also love the Winston Churchill quote you used. I have a book of quotes from famous people and Sir Winston occupies a large section. He said so many wonderful and humorous things.

I LOVE your card-its truly PERFECT! How smart of you to make your own dp from fabric and how lucky that you had the perfect fabric to do so with! PERFECT image too!

I am surprised to see so many Bobbies at the party! I didn't know there were so many Bobby images floating around out there....the closest I've ever seen is a Nutcracker XD
