Here is my simple card for the WCMD09E -Verve Stamps challenge asking us to pick a flag and make a card using the colors of that flag.
I intentionally picked Botswana, which gave me blue, white and black-the colours I wanted to use for this sympathy card for my husband's boss (his very good friend died suddenly yesterday). I used retired SU soft sky cardstock and ribbon and PTI black and rustic white cardstock.
I embossed the soft sky panel with the leafy (name?) Cuttlebug folder. To highlight the embossed image, I gently sponged with soft sky classic ink and stitched with black thread around the panel. Sorry that this card doesn't photograph better--it's very soft and understated. The message on the front (done on the computer and printed) says "Sometimes there are no words" and inside says "Our sympathy and understanding is with you." in very light, small print.
