Flying the Flags! by Nicky Cresswell

Hay peeps, Minxy in da house. 

So I hope everyone had a nice long weekend and enjoyed the lovely weather we've been having, Don't worry, it will soon be friday and everyone will have an extra day off for the royal wedding!

People from far and wide will be lining the streets of london to wish the new couple well, and the trees and lamp posts will be lined with lots of flags & bunting! 

And speaking of bunting I made some of my own.

{did you see what I did there, I wasn't just randomly waffling} 

All the flags are made out of canvas and coloured with distress inks, The tops were diecut using Tims on the edge scallops die, I made a template for the scalloped circle and then hand cut them also from canvas.

I coated the chipboard letters with mica paints
