I Think She Was an Aussie - Donna's Three Simple Cards

Hi all,

I can not help myself, I like the Australia paper from Aunty Vera Scrap and Craft so much I had to create some Australian cards from it.. I created these quite simply as I wanted
the papers to be the highlight...

Card 1...

I cut a panel from one of the cut aparts and adhered it to a card front.. I placed a kangaroo from the KaiserCraft Collectables -Under the Gum Leaves with 3D foam tape on the front and stamped the greeting. I cut the stamped greeting and adhered it with 3D foam tape. I went over the greeting and on all the flowers including the kangaroo with glossy accents to give some interest to the card..

Card 2...

I love this cut-apart piece of paper and wanted the Galahs to be the main focus..
I simply added 3D Foam tape to the leaves and shaped them a little to give some 'life' .. I added a quote, two butterflies (EK Success), some dimensional magic and it is done..

Lots of shine to make the Galahs stand out.. This is so pretty in real life..

Card 3...

Again I wanted the paper to be the main focus so I fussy cut the Galah from the Ephemera Set

and adhered with 3D foam tape on a die cut Tree Branch (Tim Holtz).. I cut the Sunburnt Country heading of the Ephemera package set, again using 3D foam tape to adhere. I used Black Nuvo Drops for the eye and beak and some glitter on the feathers.
