Less is More - Colors of the Flag

Another beautiful week here in sunny California!  Don't forget I have a give away right now, and if you are interested in winning a die and sequins pack check out this post to see how to enter!

We also have another challenge starting over a Less is More.  Our theme for today is using the colors of your countries flag. This was easy for me since I was in need of a thank you card and wanted to use a particular set from My Favorite Things.  Here's my take on the challenge...




This is a super simple card.  I stamped the image on some white card stock and colored it with Copic markers.  Since this is a small image it was easy and quick to color.  I then used my rectangle die and cut out the image.  I added some red paper to frame the main focal point.








Here's a close up of the card.  I decided not to pop up the image on foam tape to allow for easier mailing.

Looking forward to seeing what you come up with!
