Then I fussy cut the Mountie and both the Flags out.

To give the Flags a bit of 3D 
I used my embossing pencil to
 highlight the creases and made it 'Wave'

On the Background I gave it a light
waterwash of colour
using my new Bruynzeel Aquarel Pencils

Light Ultramarine - 77

Ice Green - 68

Dark Green - 61

Then I went around the Edge with the

and again went around the edge 
with the Berry Red Pen.

And finally I Die-cut out the Letters
