Happy Weekend Everyone & Happy Australia Day to my fellow Aussies.
I hope everyone is having a wonderful weekend. For some of us it is a long weekend, Australia Day falls on Tuesday 26th January, that day being a public holiday, most are taking an extra day on Monday and making a 4 day weekend. Lots of BBQ's and picnics outdoors with our wonderful summer weather.
I wanted to make a card to celebrate our special day. We are so blessed with such a beautiful country and we have so much to be thankful for.
A few years ago, I had some Australian flags on toothpicks for Australia Day celebrations, but do you think I could find them. Oh well, I made this one, I downloaded a small flag and added some wire. When making a Christmas card with this sweet Tilda I pictured her holding this flag, I think she is perfect to fly our flag. I added the star to her blouse to dress her up a little and added some stickles. I coloured her with Copics, added my usual silk bow, gorgeous flowers, and punched out a few stars for some added glamour. Celebrate with Style Sentiment - Hero Arts, other sentiments - Hero Arts alphabet stamps, Cuttlebug stars embossing folder. Papers from stash - unknown.
I have entered this is the following Challenges:
Simon Says Stamp - Punch It ( 2nd entry)
Stampin' For The Weekend - Sketch ItCreative Card Crew - Challenge 43 Punch It
A Spoon Full of Sugar - Challenge 87 - Lots of Layering
Cutie Stampers - Magnolia
Check out this fabulous Personalised stamp given to the Magnolia Down Under Store DT's for Christmas Presents from our fabulous Boss Lady Kellie, I had admired them on some of the Magnolia DT's cards but was not game to ask where they came from. Kellie now stocks them in her wonderful store, Magnolia Down Under, not just this one, but many different designs.

Happy Australia Day! What a great idea to change up her outfit and have her holding the flag. All that red, white and blue going on, I could just change the flag and have a US Independence Day card!!! Wonderful coloring and details, so nice. Enjoy your nice weather and long weekend.
