On black base put down main card of lime green run thru eb folder and then rubbed distress green ink over the top. Used Dover background paper and found the Big Ben image on coloring pages and if you look close you will see how big the clock is compared to the men working on it, there are 5 men cleaning and fixing Big Ben. Added ribbon and was done. Also found out while looking for an image that Big Ben will no longer be Big Ben but known as The Elizabeth Tower, to mark the 60th year for her being on the throne.

What a nice card! I thought of Big Ben too, but went for the Palace and Guards! Oh NO, changing the name of Big Ben? I do understand why they would want to do it but it would seem almost unBrittish!

What a fantastic card, there is so much to look at. I loved the "little men" on Big Ben. I've learnt a few things from the challenge, now I can add changes poor old Big Bens name. Great card for Pat.
