Boadicea

O.M.G. the big day has finally arrived. I am now officially a member of Kenny K's Krafty Krew and we are LIVE!! Am I excited? You bet your boots I am.
The first challenge (#100 - even that has a special ring to it eh!) is called 'Raise Your Flag' and we have had to make a card using the colours of our national flag so I obviously went for the good old Red, White and Blue for En-Ger-Lund, En-Ger-Lund, En-Ger-Lund. The image we were sent, Warrior Princess really reminded me of Boudica, the woman who led an army against the might of the Roman empire. As with all of Kenny's women she is sassy but incredibly strong, a force all of her own doing, an image of woman as the true goddesses we all know you are.
The majority of elements have come from Papermania's "Portabello Road" range. The bottom layer is just Cor-din-ations card stock then a free cut out that comes with the 12x12 pack and a Memory Box die. The button is also from the same Papermania range and the ribbon was from a company called Simply Ribbons, a company which produce a really high quality ribbon at a very competitive price.
So there she is. My first effort for one of my favourite artists. I hope you like her as much as I do. Take some time to visit his site and have a look at some of the great digital downloads he has and if you have never used a digi before well maybe today is the day you give it a go.
Take Care.
Hugs 'n Stuff,
Andy
