Gas Street, Birmingham

Mr David in The Times!  Just!  The Home supplement lauding canalside living.  You just get to see the tip of the back of the boat (see tip of arrow).

We were also graced with the presence of the Liverpool football team before they went off to the beaten by Aston Villa this afternoon.

Using up the "free" papers from a card magazine. 

Using a white, square card blank I covered the front with some blue card and the yellow patterned paper.  I made a smaller panel with more blue card and yellow paper and fixed that in the bottom half of the card, wrapping some blue ribbon around it before fixing it down.

The topper was matted onto a scalloped circle, likewise the smaller topper which was stuck down onto a cocktail stick.  A piece of ribbon was threaded through a blue button and tied in a knot and stuck onto the base and the cocktail stick end stuck into the knot before fixing the top down  with a sticky fixer.
