Bugaboo Stamps Challenge : Use your Patriotic Colours

This week's challenge theme at the Catch the Bug blog is to use your country's patriotic colours, and how lucky am I that South Africa's flag is so colourful!

My card features the Bugaboo Stamps image Zebra, that I merged with a digital image of our flag to (sort of) match up the stripes.  I didn't want them to match exactly as then he'd be invisible ...  LOL!

He's coloured using Copics and I used a white gel pen for the dots.   

 I rounded the corners using a punch and added a black s mat. 

 The sentiment is digital and there are bits of white twine to 'tie' it down.

True Story ...

I don't know whether to blame old age or the fact that (a) our oldest son is getting married on 1 September, or (b) our first grandchild will be born at the end of October ..... but lately I seem to be having a problem remembering stuff.  So, I need a little book like this - hahahaha.

I covered a store bought lined notebook and used dp to cover it.  I used the Bugaboo image called JJ CRS - Can't Remember and coloured it using Copics 

 The background technique is distress ink-sponged with water droplets.

I added two flat back pearls and recycled an embellishment I got on a gift box recently.
