This week's challenge over at Less is More is to use the colours of your National Flag and I decided to use red and white, the colours of the flag of St George for England!
It's most unusual for me to come up with any ideas on the same day as the LIM challenge is posted but I had a couple of ideas and even stopped emptying the dishwasher to have a crafty go:))
I hope my first card has enough "white space" on it but I liked it anyway :o
I used red linen card and my SU bird punch which I love and punched the edge of the white card with MS daisy punch. The sentiment I stamped with versamark and embossed with white EP. The birds and sentiment are raised with foam dots.
My flag
My second card was very easy using red card and a doily as a topper with a rose made of the same card. the sentiment was stamped and embossed with versamark and white EP and 2 eyelets with red ribbon threaded through.
Thanks for looking and I love to read all your comments:)

Both of these are great and I have some of those doilies lurking around somewhere. Good idea to choose the St George flag rather than the obvious R, W and B.
Both lovely cards, really love the bird one and the doily's very pretty :o) Lisa x

Two gorgeous cards, I really like the square doily card, it has such a lovely Scandinavian feel to it, and those rolled roses are so pretty.
Two fabulous cards Valerie - love the way you've created the focal point with the doilie - a brilliant idea.
Thanks so much for following too.
