Cheerio!

I know that "Cheerio" generally means good-bye in Great Britain, but in my case I'm using it to say hello on this greeting card.

To create the background, I randomly stamped a collage image from Artistic Outpost's Loverly London set onto vanilla cardstock.  I blended scattered straw and gathered twigs distress ink around the edges and sponged on barn door distress ink through a piece of punchinella.  For the focal image, I stamped the Big Ben images onto the same vanilla cardstock and then die cut the oval.  My top hat guy was stamped separately and trimmed closely before being adhered.  The sentiment is from Artistic Outpost's London Underground set.

Thanks for stopping by.  Cheerio!
