Love for Australia...

Hello everyone, 

Happy Fri-yay!

Lovely Crissy Armstrong has designed a set of beautiful images to show our love and support for Australia through the awful time they are having with bushfires.
...and what's more, the wonderful folks at Whimsy Stamps have decided to donate proceeds made from these stamps to the wildlife relief fund!

I chose to use the gorgeous
I printed the Koala and die cut it into a circle with the Whimsy Stamps

Then I coloured the background with Copic E19 and E15 and sponged it with Copic Colourless Blender.  I also used the Colourless Blender marker to make lots of different sized circles over the background. 

I coloured the gorgeous Koala with Copics
W7, W6, W4, W2, W1 and used a pink pencil to add the rosy cheeks.

I coloured the eucalyptus tree with
E55, E57, E41, E44, E47, YG99, YG63, YG61.

I layered the image onto a piece of Whimsy Stamps
which I had die cut with Whimsy Stamps

I tore a strip of vellum and stamped the Tenderness sentiment from
onto it.

I wrapped the vellum sentiment around the card design as shown.
Finally I added some dots of 
around the sweet Koala and made his/her nose shiny with some 
Please have a good look around the 
at the gorgeous cards by the rest of the Whimsy Stamps Creative Team – and then follow that with a trip to 
store for some essential retail therapy!

Happy Crafting

Someone once told me that she 'didn't do critters'. Any idea who that might have been? xx

Ok, ok, one more comment for the night - I'm such a dork and just realized you used the tenderness sentiment. I didn't even recognize it! It's a perfect use and matched so well. :D
