Happy Independence Day Finland! Today, the 6th of December we celebrate our independence. The date is when the parliament confirmed the declaration of independence with votes 100 for and 88 against. Finland was a Grand Duchy then, belonging to Russian empire.
I drew inspiration from the day and used just blues and whites in this art journal spread. If you are wondering, why those colors, they are the colors on the Finnish flag. When I was crafting the piece a song called "Sininen ja valkoinen" (Blue and white) started playing in my head. There the singer thinks how to describe his homeland. He then sings about all blue and white things in Finland (blue skies and lakes, glistening snow, white summer nights and white clouds).
How I made the spread? Well, you can see that from this process video (link) on my YouTube channel! Like I say in the video, you could use the same idea to make some Christmas cards, too!
Wishing you a peaceful Friday and wonderful weekend! Thank you for stopping by today!
