Adventure with Sunburnt Country

A few simple ingredients from the Couture Creations Sunburnt Country collection were needed to create this bright and simple greeting card.

Materials used : 

1 sheet and 1 patterned barcode strip from the 6.5 x 6.5 Paper Pad CO727278

Acacia Branch Mini Die, CO727227

Adventure Mini Die, CO727231

Silver Princess Mini Stamp, CO727205

White 5 x 7 card base, CO725815

Raincoat Card stock, ULT200050

Pearl White Pigment Ink, CDEIPL008

Cut a strip from the Raincoat card stock, 3.5 cm x 17.3 cm and cut 3 Acacia branches in a row.

Attach the strip vertically along the left side of the card base.

Trim the decorative strip from another of the 6.5 papers, then trim the product code off. The strip is not long enough, so we will cut it in half attaching it as pictured. The open area will be covered by our panels.

Cut out the 2 yellow flowering corrugated panels and the Blue cloudy corrugated panel. Stamp the Silver Princess Mini Stamp onto the cloudy panel as pictured.

Layer the 3 panels using the picture as a guide. Mount the stamped panel and bottom panel with 3D foam tape.

Cut the Adventure mini die from the wood grain panel and mount onto a strip of white card. Layer and attach the piece between the 2 main panels as pictured.

Cascade 2 of the 3 Acacia branches cut from your decorative border over the bottom panel to finish.

You can also brush a little of the Pearl White Card Deco Pigment Ink over the branches and border to give a nice subtle shimmery effect.

Enjoy! Katrina Thompson
