Just Add Ink Challenge # 65

The challenge for us this week is to add "MATESHIP/FRIENDSHIP" in honour of ANZAC DAY. (Australia and New Zealand Army Corps).

It is traditionally known as a day to remember those lives lost so many years past on 25th April 1915, during the 1st World War, it is a day when both Australia and New Zealand unite, just as they, our brave soldiers, known now as ANZAC'S  did, when they landed on the shores of Gallipoli, on a beach now known as ANZAC COVE.....

It is also a day to reflect on the many brave men & women, in all wars, that have given their lives to serve and protect our great nations..."lest we Forget".
I chose to go with Mateship as l had been given this image from a friend and thought that it was perfect for the image of an Aussie Bloke!  Not mine l might add!

Supplies:
Crumbcake-Real Red-Night of Navy-Whisper White C/stocks.
Hemp Twine & Jumbo Eyelet & Crop-a-dile.
Crimper.
Greeting (computer generated).

Have a safe and happy Easter & thanks for stopping by.

  1. As always your fantastic colouring of this image has brought this guy to life.

    Every time I see him he makes me laugh - I think we've all met some Blokes just like him!
