Aussie Smiles

 Hello CottageCutz Friends,

I have created a slimline card today featuring a number of the Australian Friends dies.  This sweet card uses the Wombat, Dingo and the Echidna dies.  There are 14 different dies in this release and all of them are just as cute as they can be!!  If you haven't checked out the Australian Friends Release click HERE. 

Design Steps:

1.  Using these dies: Dingo, Wombat and Echidna cut out the following colors of card stock: rust, tan, brown, dark brown, white and black.  Assemble the critters with a fine tip, fast drying glue

2.  For the white card base use a slimline measuring 8 1/2 x 3 1/2 (folded) Cut a piece of black card stock with the Film Strip Slimline.  Also with the same slimline cut out the Smile which is included in the Film Strip Slimline.  Cut a piece of blue DP 3 1/4 x 2 1/4 glue to the center of the white card base

3.  On the card front glue down the film strip and the smile as shown in the picture above

4.  For a little added decoration use the Spring Grass die and cut it 3 times out of green card stock.  Cut the pieces to fit inside of the film strip sqaure and glue down.  Use the Koala Bear w/Floral die and cut out 4 green leaves and 2 yellow flowers.  Glue the leaves and the flowers in the corners of the top and bottom film strip squares as shown above

5.  Add the remaining critters and some small rhinestones to the flowers centers.  I decided to do the inside of the card by adding one film strip square and some leaves with yellow flowers.  I stamped inside of the square to complete the card
