3. Prep all of the elements -
Die-cut the pieces and ink their edges, rip the patterned paper to fit across card, trim the blue and glitter card for matting and distress their edges, cut a piece of seam binding and tie a knot at each end and lastly fussy-cut around the postage stamp.

6. The finished product with all elements attached.
This card is a Top-fold measuring 15cm x 10.5cm. The mats all have a 2mm border difference from the one they sit on.
I put a some glossy accents over the feathers of the Kookaburra and some glitter paint on some of the leaves.
