London Inspired Blog Hop


Our FUN and FABULOUS design team at Artistic Outpost is celebrating London today in a blog hop. Be sure to check out the amazing creations from the blogs of these FENOMENAL FEMALES! (yes, I know I misspelled that word)

I made a little collage that turned out someone more complicated than I meant. The initial layers that you can just barely see were cut from mat board.  I didn't like the look, so I just started stamping stuff to cover it up. I think I ended up with a foggy London scene featuring our Eliza and Professor Higgins from My Fair Lady. AT least that is how I've come to think of these two from our Loverly London collection.  I dyed the ribbon with distress ink stains. That stuff is just amazing with which to dye ribbon.

Thanks for stopping by, and have a wonderful day.

Be sure to check out our Shades of Red challenge on our blog. You can win a fabulous prize!!!

Oh wouldn't that be loverly!

Love this grungy feel in your creation! Too cool with the pleated skirt/ribbon!

Grungy and faded but at the same time such an air of old style elegance.

Oh wow!!! What a fabulous card! I am in love with everything about it!!! I thank you so much for your very nice comments you left on my blog about my London Canvas! I LOVE the London stamp sets from Artistic Outpost. I ordered the London Underground set and now, after seeing the Loverly London one, I wish I had ordered it, too!!! I did manage to order FOUR other sets though. I love Artistic Outpost stamps...so much detail and wonderful images! <3 Candy
