OWH Midweek Challenge: state flag colors
Hi! The Midweek Throwdown Challenge at OWH Stars and Stamps Blog is to use the colors of your state flag. Here is the Virginia flag:
The Virginia flag is actually the state seal, placed on a deep blue background. The seal was designed in 1776 by George Wythe, one of the signers of the Declaration of Independence. It depicts Virtue conquering Tyranny. There are quite a few colors in the flag--blues, purple, red-orange, green...so it was a challenge but I tried to bring in all the colors onto my card. I went with this gentle Whimsie Doodles image of a little guy holding a screwdriver and a toolbox! He's colored with Copics:
Seems like something's up with Blogger tonight re posting photos. Not good! Hope you have a good night and come back soon!
