Red and White....the colours of Canada's flag

Hello again.  It's Thursday once again, so time for another challenge at Charisma Cardz.  This week the theme is to use the colours of a country's flag.


I felt this was a good opportunity to try something different, as I would only be needing the two colours.  Using the Hero Arts Elegant Weeds stamp, I've heat embossed with white embossing powder and then sponged over this with distress inks.  Now these could be weeds, but to some of us who live in the country....they are wildflowers, and in their proper place just as beautiful.

 A little a piece of lace and a sentiment to finish it off.....so elegant in a nice and easy way!

Our generous sponsors this week are:

 Prize #1


Prize #2
($10 Voucher)

Prize #3

Thanks so much for stopping by, and hopefully we'll be visiting you to see your lovely entries this week!  Be sure to check out all the inspiration from the rest of my teamies over on the challenge blog too.
