The World is Your Oyster

The wonderful Kathy dared us this week;

I'd like you to celebrate all the amazing and diverse countries and cultures we have in this world of ours by making cards with a "feel" of any country you like. There's a whole world of possibilities out there, so don't just go for the obvious {wink}
You can take your inspiration from the colours, style, patterns, maybe the food or national costume etc - rather than showing images etc of that place (though you could do that if you wanted).
The Football World Cup starts today, so perhaps if you're desperate (I hate football, but don't let that stop you...hehe) checking out the teams that have reached the finals might give some ideas too.

It felt a bit wrong making a card using another country - particularly as the World Cup Kicks off today so I went with the home nation. Knowing that Kathy loves football, I sneaked in a little ball too :D
