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.

    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!

    Great card, Nikki; you captured this "ocker" perfectly, right down to the blue Bonds singlet.

    Totally funny image and nowhere near represents my 'Aussie' bloke either. Great colouring and an awesome card for this challenge.

    Great image, and your colouring is totally gorgeous as always. Must say I wouldn't want an 'Aussie Bloke' just like this one *smile*
