You can't get much more Australian than Golden Wattle. Its the floral emblem for Australia and flowers here around August each year - Spring. I have noticed already that some of the wattles are starting to bud up now - so I am looking forward to Spring - just have to get through June and July - the coldest months here.
The image is coloured with Derwent Inktense Pencils.
Hope you Enjoy.

Your card is so pretty. I had to google the Wattle to see what they look like; just beautiful. We have the beautiful Tabebuia bloom here in Spring and fill the tree with yellow. TFS

I love it when I can look at beautiful cards and learn at the same time. I had to Google wattle images to see what they look like IRL - WOW the trees are magnificent and the close ups of the flower are beautiful! Thank for sharing your beautiful card and some Australian facts.
