Welcome to this stop on the Club Scrap Blog Hop!
I was so excited to get this kit, since I have loved London for such a long time! In August of 2012 I went to London with my daughter and my parents, and I'm pleased to report that my daughter loved it absolutely as much as the rest of us. I have big plans for finally scrapbooking those photos, and those plans are just going to be waiting a while longer...
In the meantime, here's a little project that shows our love for the grand old city of London and its country.
This is a 12" x 8" canvas that was first painted, and then collaged with papers and an embossed telephone box. I added some dimension on top of those layers with Ranger's new Transparent Gloss Texture Paste and the Club Scrap Tin Tiles Anniversary stencil. The letters were made by covering some thin chipboard with Vintage Mini Postage Stamps from the Club Scrap Lite kit, and die cutting them, then coloring the edges with black marker. I used a very vintage embellishment -- a Making Memories vellum tag (circa 2002) -- which I embossed with gold embossing powder, then stamped and embossed with red and blue embossing tinsel. This was followed with an assortment of embellishments. I used nearly every variety of item included in the Club Scrap kits!
The Club Scrap materials include:
12 x 12 London Calling ivory print (CS Deluxe Kit)
8.5 x 11 London Calling ivory print (CS Deluxe Kit)
12 x 12 London Calling light green print (CS Deluxe Kit)

London Calling Underground Washi Tape (CS Deluxe Kit)
London Calling Vintage Mini Postage Stamps (CS Lite)
London Calling Antique Bronze Keys and Crown Charms (CS Deluxe Kit)
London Calling Borders and Backgrounds Unmounted Rubber (CS Kit Add-On)
Here are a couple of closeup photos that show the glossy texture paste, tinsel embossing powders, and the postage stamp letters:
London Calling is an extremely versatile kit as well! Here's a spot of dessert to enjoy after the main course: a simple card using a stamp, Distress Markers, layered paper from the London Calling HPOP, and a slip of seam binding:
