red, white and blue . . . Aussie style

Yes, we love our red, white and blue Down Under too!!!

How fun is this patterned paper?

I wanted to have the sentiment POP but I didn't want to have a big, solid sentiment panel covering the patterned paper, so I combined a CAS design with this vellum-filled speech bubble.  The die cuts out the speech bubble "frame", so I traced the speech bubble on to vellum then fussy cut it out, adhered the blue frame on top then put a fine line of Tombow Mono Multi glue along the edge of the vellum to adhere the sentiment speech bubble securely in place on the card.

The "happy" is two offset layers of the Winnie & Walter In A Word Happy Cutaway.

The sparkling Australia Day are glitter alpha stickers.

I matted the layers of this 5"x7" card using my Perfect Layers Rulers.

Ingredients:

Bella - Australiana paper pad
