This is an unusual birthday card, for me. Unlike in some countries, we don’t really feature our flag creatively. It’s only since the 2012 Olympics that we’ve seen items decorated with the Union flag or its colours, and since the Rio Olympics that’s died down a lot. I hope this isn’t disrespectful – it is supposed to represent pride in a creative way!
This is all watercolouring and a Uniko sentiment. It doesn’t look as crooked in real life, honestly…
I was inspired by the Fusion inspiration picture which not only has the colours but the actual flag decorating the jars: though I picked my own flag to play with and we don’t celebrate the 4th July. So I’m entering this there.
Also in the Less is More challenge #335 to use the colours of one’s flag. I have to credit design team member Esther’s card for inspiring my layout.
And Seize the Birthday’s Anything Goes Challenge.
A haiku for this card:
I’m happy where I live
Beautiful spaces, good people
