Papertake Weekly - True Colours

Hi everyone, hope you're all well and enjoying the beautiful sunshine. Sorry if I've missed any of your posts since last Tuesday, but I've been getting home from work later than usual and bringing stuff home to do so I've hardly had any blogging time. Even worse, I've had no card making time at all and my Papertake Weekly card today is one I made a while ago that, luckily, it fits our brand new challenge True Colours. This week we want to see any, or all, of your national colours and we're sponsored by the fabulous Andrea & Mary who are,of course, The Ribbon Girl. There's a very generous £10 voucher for the winner.

I've made my card using the fab Portobello Road range from Papermania that was sent to me to make some samples. The whole range was available as a free gift if you subscribed to Quick Cards Made Easy magazine and you can see the latest gorgeous offer here.


A very different style of card for me but I really enjoyed making it. It also fits a couple of challenges:
Penny Black Allsorts - May Challenge - London Celebrates
Stampalot Challenge - Medals and Monarchs

Short and sweet from me tonight! Thanks for visiting and I'll be round to visit you soon.
Have a fab week and enjoy the sun!
