Kuddly Koala

Good afternoon, We are supposed to be under a winter storm warning with up to a foot of snow but so far it's only raining. It's so cold that it's freezing rain so if the snow does come it will likely settle.

I'm sure you have all seen the devastation that is hitting Australia with all the fires. Being a huge animal lover it is so sad seeing all the pictures of the native animals suffering and dying. So today's card is in honor of them. I love koala bears and couldn't imagine a world without them. I still have my childhood bear bought for me by my Nanna and he is a koala bear.

The image on my card is one of Lili Of The Valley's digital stamps, I have colored him with Copic markers. I used card scraps from my stash to decorate the card which led to me doing a purge of scraps - who else collects bits of card and design papers just in case?

Supply List:
X-press It card stock
Koala digital stamp - Lili of The Valley
Copic Markers
White Card Stock for base card - The Paper Studio
Blue cardstock - Core'dinations
Leaves - Sylvan Frame: Poppy Stamp
Design paper - from stash

Best Wishes in Pretty Lilac

Good afternoon! the temperature here is currently 18 degrees Fahrenheit - soooo cold!  I'm tucked up inside with my fur babies and don't plan on venturing far today!

My design today was for a colleague of my husband, I have posted before about the card club he runs at work. I make a mixture of male and female cards for this and it challenges me because of the larger size needed. They have to be 8x8in cards so there is plenty of room for colleagues to write their birthday wishes to the recipient.
This card main feature is Crafter's Companion's Blossoming Lilacs Layering stamps. I love the effect you get from the layering, it gives such a realistic look to the flowers. I chose muted papers so that the stamped flowers really do pop.

Supply List:
8x8in card base - Craft UK
Blossoming Lilacs Stamps - Crafter's Companion
Stamping Card: Solar White - Neenah Classic Crest
Glacier Caves Inks - Altenew
Green Meadows Inks - Altenew
