I usually love challenges and this one is right up my alley. 

All inserts are 4.25 x 5.5" done on 110# Staples white cardstock. The waterfall structure is a basic white cardstock mounted on a piece of blue Core'dination Cardstock.

I'm taking an online Copperplate Essentials class with Barbara Close  in the "Pointed Pen Possibilities" series, so thought I'd do this month practicing my lettering... I'm using a Zebra G nib and Sumi ink for the challenge words.

After doing the word "Czesc!" in "Waterfall 1", I decided to look for what the National Flower for that country was. Some didn't have a specific flower... If there is a flower ID on the piece than that was their National flower. If there is no flower ID than it's just a flower I decided to use on that piece.
