So this is when I really wished I lived somewhere with more exotic colours in the flag, but for me it’s good old red white & blue in Australia. These colours are quite difficult for me, so I thought that I would just make myself join this weeks Less is More challenge just to push those card making boundaries a little harder.

Oh Therese I agree, red, white and blue are the colors of my flag as well and they are not my favorite color combo. Good for you for challenging yourself. This card is very sweet! It has great dimension and I love the curvy water.
These little sailing boats are fab. A really great CAS card. xx
Love the little sailing boats
Well you could have fooled me that you struggle with these colors because your card is perfect! Love the cute boats and the wave looks totally fab (the gel pen accents–brilliant!).
Therese, LOVE the red framining against the white – it really makes the focal point pop. Also, great detailing of the waves.
What a delightful card – fab work

Love your boats bobbing about on the sea – beautiful work.
I love your little trio of sailboats. Red and blue works so well for a nautical theme. Ann
so darn cute!
I always love the red, white and blue combo and the nautical theme you have used is perfect- CAS perfection!! 🙂
beatiful card, love your sail-boats
Love your boats sailing on the sea. Super movement in your card. x
Gorgeous card Therese… love those waves and little boats.
CUTE!!! I love cards that have a little scene. Love those boats!
well, you totally rocked the RWB!!!
Love those little sailboats and how you popped up the one sail. So cute!
You know, I think I would find this a hard colour combo too! “my” colours would be just red & white, and I don’t find I reach for them that often either.
Love how well the colours tie into the nautical theme, and those boats are adorable!
