G-day, Mate!!


G'day, friends! I am a total fangirl when it comes to the Outback (romanticized, of course--poisonous everythings can keep to themselves, thank you very much). 

Well, when I saw this set from Sunny Studio with its ultra cute critters, especially a chunk of a WOMBAT, I had to play with it! One of my favorite animals is a wombat. I wonder if it's like hugging a giant furry loaf when you hold them. LOL.



Let's start with the card base where I stamped the Sunny Studio Tropical Scenes island, colored up as a watering hole in my scene with that iron-rich soil I associate with the outback. Next I used Distress Oxide Salvaged Patina with the MFT Mini Cloud Edges stencil.


I used the Sunny Studio Comic Strip Speech Bubble Die backed with an acetate panel to create a flat shaker. As long as you're using flat flat sequins, there's no need to use foam tape. 

But, what you can do instead, like I did here, is diecut the Sunny Studio Comic Strip Speech Bubble Die again and adhere it beneath.  It adds only a small bump up but it's the perfect amount to let your flat sequins shake freely.


I hope you enjoyed today's card.  Have a great rest of your day!

I'm entering this in Just Add Ink #566 Frame, As You See It #256 Zoology, and Happy Little Stampers August 2021 Anything Goes with Dies.

    Well, if all the critters in Australia were like this, I'd want to visit too! No snakes or spiders, please! You've done an awesome job coloring them, and the layout is perfect! Great job on our As You See It challenge this week!
