This week I liked the suggestion of using the queen on postage stamps
for my Diamond Jubilee tag. Looking through my stamp collection I
picked out the loose definitive stamps, some of which were pre-decimal
with a young Queen Elizabeth II and some decimal with a different
portrait of the Queen.
I dismissed the idea of a general mosaic of stamps as I wanted it to be Jubilee themed and was lucky enough to have the stamps needed for writing 1952 in pre-decimal stamps and 2012 in decimal.
As well as English stamps, I've been able to incorporate a Scottish one and a Welsh one, unfortunately I didn't have any to represent Northern Ireland. To complete the theme I printed the Jubilee logo and used a crown rubber stamp.

The background is textured wallpaper with sheer fabrics and I've also attached somebeads and individual onion seed heads.

Brilliant idea! My friend's little girl calls stamps 'lady stickers' and you know just what she means! :)
