This week's Teapot Tuesday challenge is to make your card "British". The phone booth from Feeling Sentimental reminded me of European phone booths so....
Did you know phone booth's in Great Britain are red and are yellow in the rest of Europe? Learn something new every day! I had a perfectly good card made BUT my phone booth was black so I had to do a do-over.
I cased a card from the gallery for the layout but used different dp, base color, and sentiment shape.

I didn't know about "yellow" either. Gosh you have to love SCS....and I also love your card. The dp's remind me of beautiful english wallpaper and houndstooth wool fabric. Gorgeous.
