AUSTRALIAN KOOKABURRA CARD -CCDT 0519

My finished 'Australian Kookaburra' Card

Card Size - 10.5 cm x 14.8 cm  (1/4 of and A4 Sheet)

Hello Everyone,  

Thanks for joining me with today's project using Couture Creations' SUNBURNT COUNTRY COLLECTION.  Hope you can find something in it that you might like to try for yourself.

1. I started by cutting a piece 14.3 cm x 9.8cm of  ULT200002 Delicate Medlar cardstock and embossed it with the CO727268 Kangaroos Emboss Folder.   Starting from the bottom upwards, the 'sandwich' I used was:-  base plate, embossing mat, embossing folder with cardstock inserted in it, lastly the top plate.	2.  Next I stamped the CO727200 Kookaburra Postage Stamp onto ULT200002 Delicate Medlar cardstock and coloured it with a water-brush.    From the Card Deco Essentials Ink Dyes, I used the colours  -    CDEIPU033 Pale Brown,    CDEIPU032 Cappuccino,     CDEIPU024 Olive Green,    CDEIPU018 Light Blue, and    CDEIPU019 Deep Sea Blue
3.  Prep all of the elements - Die-cut the pieces and ink their edges, rip the  patterned paper to fit across card, trim the blue and glitter card for matting and distress their edges, cut a piece of seam binding and tie a knot at each end and lastly fussy-cut around the postage stamp.  The elements I used were:-   CO727233 Mini Die- Fenced In ,   CO727214 -Australia                    Mini Cutting Die,   CO727221 - Eucalyptus Branch Mini Cutting Die,   CO727200 Kookaburra Postage Stamp ,   ULT200017 Cardstock - Blue Diamond ,   ULT200002 Cardstock - Delicate Medlar ,   CO727174 Glitter Card - Lagoon Blue ,   Sheet 11B from 6.5" x 6.5" Sunburnt Country PaperPad	4.  For the bigger matting pieces I adhere them to cardboard - it makes them firmer.
5.  Play with the arrangement of the elements until it feels right for you, then glue them into place.	6.  The finished product with all elements attached. This card is a Top-fold measuring 15cm x 10.5cm. The mats all have a 2mm border difference from the one they sit on. I put a some glossy accents over the feathers of the Kookaburra and some glitter paint on some of the leaves.
