Australian Birds

 Hello Crafty Friends, let me tell you a story. Last year I decided to plant some pretty Sunflowers to make a happy border at the edge of my veggie patch. I used to love looking out my window seeing the beautiful big yellow flowers blooming............till one day a flock of Cockatoos decided to come feasting on them. Haha I still remember them flying off into the sunset, while still carrying whole sunflower heads & whatever else took their fancy, as I tried to shoo them away. Unfortunately I learn't the hard way, don't plant Sunflowers near your veggies!

Which brings me to my card I am sharing today using another one of the images from RAM Stamps  Aussie Christmas set. It features the "Australian Birds" digital stamp. These cute little guys don't look like they want to feast in my garden!

I coloured my image with Some Uniball Signo glitter pens & Copics on some X-Press It Blending Card. I then printed the gum leaves paper from the "Aussie Christmas" coordinating papers. I trimmed my coloured image to fit onto a layer of green glitter cardstock leaving a thin edge on the bottom & top. I placed this onto a die cut border & finished off by placing of top of a 5x7 base of my printed paper.

Copics:

Branch & Leaves: W00, W1, G0000, G05

Kookaburra: E30, E31, T0, T3, T4

Wren: RV00, RV02

Cockatoo: BV00, BV20

Light Up Emu

 Hello Crafty Friends, the one thing I truly love about living in Australia is the beauty of our adorable native animals unique to this country. Last month RAM Stamps released an Aussie Christmas set with 4 new digi stamps of some of our favourite furry friends along with a coordinating "Aussie Christmas" digital paper pack. 
 

For my card today I have used "Light Up Emu". Love how his little Koala friend rides on his back!

I coloured my image with Some Uniball Signo glitter pens & Copics on some X-Press It Blending Card. I then printed the holly paper from the "Aussie Christmas" coordinating papers. I trimmed my coloured image to fit onto a 5x7 base leaving some space on the left for my coloured paper. I then cut a 2cm strip of my coloured printed paper & a thin strip of some red glitter paper for a pretty edge. Lastly I glued my coloured paper strips into place & embellished with some red sprinkles.

Copics:

Santa Hat: R24, R27, R29, Silver Glitter Pen

Lights: Red & Green Glitter Pen

Emu: E43, E44, E71, E74, E77

Snowman & Penguin Sledding

Hello Crafty Friends, it's a new month & there is a new release at Rachelle Anne Miller Creative Studios called "Penguin & Snowman" with 4 new digi stamps along with a coordinating "Snowy Christmas" digital paper pack. 

 

For my card I have used "Snowman & Penguin: Sledding" from the new release. I also wanted some trees in the background so I added the trees from the RAM "Christmas Penguins Scene Creator Set", but any trees from a RAM stamp would work. I blended the background with distress ink. Then I added some Gesso onto a stencil for the snow falling & I also added dabs of Gesso to my trees. I then glued down some cut out snow hills with dies & glued my coloured images on top!

 

Copics:

Sled: E53 E55, E59

Snowman: B0000, B000, B00, RV00, RV02, RV09, R20 YR14

Penguin & Squirrel: C1, C4, C6, C8, C10, R20

Trees: G02, G05, E59, E55
