The colours of your flag!

At "Less is More" this week it's time for another colour challenge.
Wishing to give a little variety to the colour choice this time, we came up with this idea... the colour of your National flag! We have crafters from all around the globe taking part in our challenges and so we should see a bunch of different colours... although many nations have the colours red, white and blue!
This is a new home card for my niece who moved out of her house today, but won't be moving into her new home until a few legalities have been ironed out. My brother-in-law will be sharing his home with them for a while... what fun!
The English flag being the cross of St George is just red and white and this card reflects those colours.
 Details of the stamps used are on the "Less is More" blog, do join us for this current challenge, we'd love to see your work!

  1. Hmmmmm red is not a colour I use much by choice so this is definately going to be a challenge this week! That said I really do love both of your cards. Fab image on the first & the second one is very pretty. Love the patterns & lack of solid red.
    Have a great weekend!

  37. You do these folk-style cards so well Chrissie. I especially like the second one with its different patterns and shapes. It's kind of your BiL to share his home but I bet they can't wait to get into their own place. Vx

  38. Hi Chrissie,

    How THICK!! am I? I only just realised that if I clicked on your name I could comment on your card. So sorry!

    Both of your cards are really lovely. The second one has that homespun feel to it, and although I love both of your cards that one is my favourite xx
