AUGUST GUEST DESIGNER : THE OUTLAWZ COLOUR CHALLENGE

I have been chosen (again) to be the Guest Designer over at The Outlawz Color Challenge, this time for the whole month of August, and feel so honoured.

Today's colour inspiration is the Seychelles flag

 
and this is what I created:


The featured image is  Bugaboo Stamps' Birdhouse - Ladybug, and I coloured it using alcohol markers (the woodgrain is created using alcohol markers and a white gel pen)
Yo make I background I used the flag,  copied and pasted to create this sunburst.  It was matted onto black cs.

I also used the following

white cs base
black cs bird diecut
white cs foliage diecut
freehand-cut spiral (chinese) roses)
gems
white ric rac

The sentiment is a diecut
