Card step1



I used the pen tool to design the royal flower lines, then use the ellipse tool for the touchings. And then darken the colour with standard black colour.

Card step2



I used the pen tool to draw lines and the curve shapes, then i used the move tool and rectangle tool to make the rectangle, then colour it with dark standard red.

Card step3



I wrote the greeting messages with text and pathtool for the sentence, then i coloured the words NIGERIA with green, and underlined the sentence because it was not arranged at that moment. Even at this point you can see that the second message in the rectangle is not organised. Then i draw the Nigerian Flag using paint brush tool, then i use live bucket and colour it with green and white, as it symbolizes and represents the approved and existing National flag of my Country, because I'm doing the card for the first citizen of my Republic.

Card step4



Then at this stage, i remove the undeline and organize the first greeting message. But the second greeting message in the rectangle designed image, is still not arranged.
