Australiana - Escape the Ordinary

Hello friends, thanks so much for stopping by - The card I am sharing today could not be easier to create -  infact it is the second card I have made recently like this - you can see the first one HERE.


I have used white card stock and sponged with various Imagine co-ordinating inks and Sponge Daubers. I have used shades of green ink along the lower portion, moving up to orange to give the impression of a sunset or sunrise, followed by blues and whites for a cloudy sky! To create the cloudy look I have used some torn paper and sponged the edges if this at random intervals and angels and finished with yellow in the corner.  There is no need to be pedantic amount the background as it tends to merge into the background once the die cut is added.


The die has been cut using black card stock and glued to the  sponged card front, trimmed so it is SLIGHTLY larger than the die cut, to create a fine border and then popped up into a slightly larger pre-cut cream card base using Scrapbook Adhesives BY 3L 3D Foam Squares.  The sentiment is from the Kaisercraft Sticker Book - Belle.  This has been angled at the left end, adhered onto slightly larger card stock and glued to the card front as shown in the photo above.
