Rule Britannia! Diamond Jubilee Fever!



I found these images here on Pinterest.
I've been following the Diamond Jubilee celebrations
on the television, whilst I've been making cards
and today I even found myself humming Rule Britannia!!!

Living in Australia, I find most people my age and younger are not really into the Royal family (although I'm not a Republican either), but who couldn't admire the amazing pomp and ceremony put on by the Brits!
everybody looked liked they were having a wonderful time and what a brilliant excuse for a party.

          My Mum and Dad are the same age as the Queen and I marvel at her
          stamina and dedication - she really is a fantastic role model.










I made this card for the Less is More RED WHITE AND BLUE challenge and the Cas-ual Friday 
challenge which is to use bling. I will also enter this in the Creative Inspirations - Inspired by CAS
and Simon Says Stamp
challenges.
I have used Ruby Rock it paper and the sentiment is from the Pink Petticoat free Jubilee pack.
I hand cut the cupcake shape and used a border punch.  The cupcake is half a die cut circle and I used an embossing folder, then decorated it with glitter and the rose. I added the crown and bling to the Union Jack flag.

  15. This is just an amazing card! I keep wanting to make a big cupcake for a card, but don't have a die cutting machine - I love that you created the cupcake case yourself and the cupcake frosting is a circle - even I can do that!! Thank you for giving me an alternative to having to wait until I can afford to buy the right die - you are an inspiration, keep up the good work!!! x
