Couture Creations Sunburnt Country Kookaburras on Post Card

 

Hi everyone 😀

Today I am sharing another card using the Couture Creations Sunburnt Country range - with a little bit of Uniquely Creative thrown in:

This is also my card for the following Challenges:  

Crafty Catz Challenge #548 of Anything Goes with the optional extra of 'All Creatures Great and Small' - which are my kookaburras

The Male Room - Challenge #149 for April of Wood.  My wood is the wooden fence post that the kookaburra is standing on.  

Please click on the underlined link to take you to the challenge.

I have LOTS of masculine birthdays coming up in August - mostly in the first 2 weeks - so I am trying to get ahead a little.  I plan to do lots of Australian-themed cards and are trying to challenge myself to do different layouts and styles (wish me luck as I tend to be a one-trick pony!).

The main image is 3D diecut decoupage (or paper tole) by Couture Creations and only has 3 layers so was very quick and easy to put together.   This was layered onto some designer paper from the 6" x 6" paper pad of the same Couture Creations range.   The two strips of designer paper underneath the kookaburras are by Uniquely Creative from their Country Roads 6" x 6" paper pad.

You can see a close-up of the layers here:

The background corrugated iron, mustard coloured paper and blue paper which has a leaf design on it is all one panel cut from the Couture Creations 12" x 12" paper which you can see here at the bottom right-hand side:

I layered this panel onto a kraft cardstock base which I bought from KMart.  They have a really good range of scrapbooking and cardmaking products at KMart now which is fantastic especially now that Riot Art and Craft bricks and mortar stores have closed.  I used to get my card bases from Riot Art and Craft so it is great that I have an alternative store to go to - especially as there are no papercraft stores anywhere near me.

The sentiment is by Uniquely Creative - Country Roads - Creative Cuts and was popped up on dimensionals.  I added two self-adhesive brown brads either side which are by Stampin' Up but retired.

It was fun to mix and match 2 different company's paper ranges and I just love how my card turned out.

Thanks for stopping by!
