Today I am playing along with the current Less is More challenge to use the colors of your country’s flag to create a card.
I live in the USA, so my flag colors are red, white, and blue. Despite today being our Independence Day, I’m not in the mood to create a card for it. In exploring my index for an idea, I came across the Road Signed set and my brain went something like this….
Oooh, stop signs are red. Oh, but what would I do for blue? Oooh, rest area signs are blue. Oh, oh, oh, I could do a retirement card!!
So, that’s what I did.
The rest area sign is created on the computer – blue printer ink with white text; then I embossed the frame around it. The retirement sign started with the rectangle frame from Label Basics set, but the outside frame was much thicker…I trimmed it down.
Thanks for taking a peek!

I love this, Karen! Such great humour and a brilliant idea to link the colours to everyday objects. You’ve laid out a beautifully CAS design too – great use of empty space to draw the eye in to the focal point. Thanks so much for playing along with us at Less is More 🙂
This is fabulous ! A fun retirement card ! Love the road signs in our colour challenge as the focal point and a very clever idea with the black white stitched stripe border for the road ! Love it ! Thanks so much for sharing and for playing along at Less is More !
