Sydney layout - Sunburnt Country collection

Hello there everyone and Good Day from Australia :)

Today I created a page layout showcasing some of the new release from Couture Creations the collection called 

 SUNBURNT COUNTRY COLLECTION only available from Australia.

This collection has 12 x 12 papers, small paper pads, dies, stamps and decoupage sheets.

I love visiting Sydney, the last time we were there it was the first port of call on our Family cruise holiday to New Zealand, a few years ago.

Standing at the back of the cruise ship - you had an amazing view of the harbour and the Sydney Harbour Bridge - the day was so perfect for setting sail on the big oceans to New Zealand.

The papers from this collection are so perfect for all your Australian themed projects..I just love the rustic feel of the corrugated iron work papers and the few flowers and foliages from the papers.


To create this layout  I mainly created with the papers and a few mini dies.

Hand tearing some of the SUNBURNT COUNTRY COLLECTION

CO727283 Sheet 5
CO727287 Sheet 9

Adhering them on to a piece of black card stock for the background.




I love this distressed look of this paper - you don't have to add any inks or colour - it looks already mixed media added to it.

Matting my photo with Kraft card stock and some of the reverse side of
CO727283 Sheet 5 paper.

I then fussy cut two of the flowers from SUNBURNT COUNTRY COLLECTION
CO727279 Sheet 1, these are so pretty, you could layer them on top of each other.

Adding the word SYDNEY from the SUNBURNT COUNTRY  coaster-board word from the set called New South Wales CO727271, adhering with glue on to my photograph.

I also have made a little pocket under the photograph, to house another photograph of my DD on the cruise ship over  looking the beautiful harbour, adding some journalling on the back, created with a postcard from the Collection pack of the SUNBURNT COUNTRY COLLECTION.

Cutting various die cuts with the SUNBURNT COUNTRY COLLECTION mini dies
