G'day!

Hi everyone,

It's challenge time with my friends over on the CCEE Stampers challenge blog. Lois Bak our challenge hostess for the month continues to bring us our challenges.

Apparently today is CITIZENSHIP DAY –  So for our challenge this week we are to make a patriotic card or a card indicating your heritage.

As I live in Australia, I of course when with an Australiana theme for my card. I used the Fancy Label Accordion Card designed by Karen Burniston for Elizabeth Craft Designs for the base of my card.

A few months ago I purchased an Australian range of dies released by Ultimate Crafts .... being an Aussie I just had to buy these and this was the perfect opportunity to use a few of the dies.

I used the inlay diecut technique on the map of Australia. 

Here is a closeup look at the last page of my card.

Here is my card when it is closed ready to pop in an envelope. As you can see I also added a couple of Gumnut embellishments to the front.
