Apart from my blubbering about national pride and Australia Day below, this post is about my card for ColourQ #121. The colours this week are:
Today is Australia Day. It is a national holiday. We get to celebrate the federation of Australia over barbeques and beer, maybe watching some sport on tv, generally relaxing. I got to do one of my favourite things for Australia Day this morning. I attended a Citizenship ceremony. I think Australia Day is the perfect day to become a citizen, and every time I attend one, I get all teary at welcoming our newest Australian citizens on our national day. I make it through singing the national anthem (Advance Australia Fair), but then we sing the national song (We Are Australian) and I get so choked up that I can't sing properly. I'm a big wuss! So to everybody in Australia today, I say, Happy Australia Day.

Well Happy Austalia Day to you!! What a great way to celebrate by sharing this vibrant pretty flower.
Stunning! Where else to begin, this card is gorgeous. In fact I have been resisting Rosie Posie and I went and purchased it right after I saw your card. Pure inspiration. Happy Austrailia Day to you, please send some of your warm weather to Canada. What ink colours did you use of this?
Tracey, I used Real Red, More Mustard, Old Olive. Crumb Cake card base. White Inktense pencil.
Thank-you everyone for your lovely comments! :-)

This is so pretty, i love how the large flower looks on the craft cardstock. i'm like you on Australia day, had the best Australia day ever this year
Oh wow! The white pencil around the edge is a fabulous touch! It really makes the flower pop off of the kraft! I'll definitely be borrowing that idea!
The white border around the flower is AWESOME! I can't believe this is a one layer card, I might need that pencil now, too! Thanks for joining us at the colourQ this week!! :)
Great job, love it!
