Red White and Blue

Hi there!

I hope your week is going well ... I'm on holiday so whilst you are reading this I'll be getting some R & R time!

Today of course is City Crafter Challenge day and this week we have Kirsty hosting for us with a 
Red White and Blue challenge
You may use other colours ... but the challenge colours must be prominent


Of course there is only a short time before Independence Day so I have no doubt that this challenge will be easy peasy for many of you ...

Here's my card


I actually made this card for a dear friend of mine who went to live in the USA almost 30 years ago and celebrated her 60th birthday this month ...


It's another Cameo cut flower ... See, when I lost my mojo a few weeks back, I cut a few of these and made similar cards as you've seen in my previous posts so forgive me if you're fed up with them but 'needs must' as they say


Our Guest Designer this week is the lovely Victoriya of Fairy tales For Mary blog... Spotlight Artist from week 206 ... I just know she will be thrilled if you hop on over and say "Hi"
And the team have some lovely projects to inspire you at City Crafter so get out your paints, stamps, papers ... whatever you play with and come join us this week!

I'll be back at the end of the week so have fun and be safe

That flower is glorious. There's something about red with white spots that's so cheerful and love it as you have done here.
