International Swap - World's Nations

The slideshow of my cards which I made for the International Swap organized by The Emirates Quilling Guild Group on facebook.The theme was "World's Nations"I seriously started quilling when I was engaged in this swap.And from there onwards no end.. What a wonderful craft.. I am still learning.. Much more to learn.. I hope I was able to show a glimpse of what a wonderful country Sri Lanka is....

Sri Lanka is an island off the southern coast of the Indian subcontinent.Sri Lanka is surrounded by the Indian Ocean.As a result of its location in the path of major sea routes, Sri Lanka is a strategic naval link between West Asia and South East Asia.Sri Lanka is a republic and a unitary state which is governed by a semi-presidential system with its official seat of government in Sri Jayawardenapura-Kotte, the capital.The country is famous for the production and export of tea, coffee, coconuts, rubber and cinnamon, the last of which is native to the country.The natural beauty of Sri Lanka has led to the title The Pearl of the Indian Ocean.The island is laden with lush tropical forests, white beaches and diverse landscapes with rich biodiversity. The country lays claim to a long and colorful history of over three thousand years, having one of the longest documented histories in the world.Sri Lanka's rich culture can be attributed to the many different communities on the island.
