Our only restriction were that we could only use 2 colours for each image (no black) and the illustrations are spot illustrations - very small, only about 2 by 2 inches..
oh and so I made these by colouring paper with wax crayons, and then scraping the crayon off the paper and it leaves these awesome textures and color. Then just paper cutting.

TOP LEFT: In some traditional places in Africa, it's customary for the host of a gathering to take the first sip of every guest's drink.
TOP RIGHT: In Latin America, if someone asks you for salt at a table, never hand it to him directly. Put it down in front of him instead - otherwise you're tempting bad luck.
CENTRE: In China when dining, it is completely acceptible to slurp your soup loudly and to leave leftover bones on the table.
BOTTOM LEFT: In the middle east and Asia, showing the soles of your shoes remains a definite no-no. Buddhist cultures also consider the foot the dirtiest part of the body.
BOTTOM RIGHT: In Russia, giving yellow flowers to a love interest is bad luck, as it implies infedelity.
