I wanted the scene to show the animals going on their way to the London celebrations. I coloured the flowers and snail shell, red, white and blue so they would work in with the scene. I added the cute hedgie with his balloon dropping in on the scene too. Tina came to my rescue, yet again, with the a length of British flag ribbon. I cut the ribbon into tiny flag shapes and glued them to a piece of twine. I stamped "have a great day" on the front of the Bus and the scene was finished. I was really pleased with the end result.
The DT have made stunning cards for your inspiration and Sponsors for the crafting goodies up for grabs this month, are, Penny Black, Sir Stampalot, Crimson Cloud and Crafts u love.
