I love the new Penny Black London series and I wanted to use my new ‘On Guard stamp :-)


I stamped the image twice onto Neenah card so I could pop the guard and chicken in front. I coloured with copics and inked the edges with Vintage Photo DI, I used a Gold Spica pen on all the gold bits of the Guard’s box and glossy accents on the chickens beaks. The fab crown was cut out on my Silhouette Cameo ( FAB machine) and I decorated it with various gems, I even gave her a ruby ring ! :-)

I used red card for layering and made the background using a mask and Antique Linen and Vintage Photo DI,I tried to make it look like Buckingham Palace wall !! ,, did it work ?? :-) I embossed another strip of card, which was coloured with the inks, with a new Spellbinders So Trendy folder. The ribbon is from Hero Arts and I used some Hemptique twine to hang a fab Blue Moon London charm. I finished with a few Metallic Dew Drops and some zig zag card cut using an EK Success Zig Zag Punch :-)
