CCMC356 Kind Koala

It’s Thursday and time for the Create with Connie and Mary Challenge!  It’s a color challenge this week, grab your stamps and ink pads and play along!

 

I was running behind this week in creating my card and when I saw a preview of what the rest of the Challenge Team was doing, I noticed that most of them used flowers.  So, I was on a mission to NOT use flowers on my card.  But…you know…flowers are my FAVORITE, right?  So…I pulled out a stamp that has only seen love a couple times, Kind Koala.  I need to send a “thinking of you” card so it was perfect to use.

 

Here are the details:

• The base is 4-1/4 x 11 Perfect Plum, folded in half.
• The next layer is 4 x 5-1/4 Sahara Sand, embossed with the Happy Heart Embossing folder.
• I cut a 1-1/2 x 5 piece of Mint Macaron striped In Colors Collection Designer Paper and added it to a 4 x 5 piece of Whisper White, then I cut it with the Lots of Labels framelit, making sure to leave enough room for my image.
• I stamped the Kind Koala with Black Stazon Ink, then colored with Sahara Sand and Perfect Plum Markers.  I took a Blender Pen and smoothed out the lines made by the marker.
• In the center of the flower, I placed a Perfect White Accent.
• I cut a small piece of Mint Macaron Lace Ribbon, tied a knot and added it to the card with Mini Glue Dots.

I like…how about you?  I hope my friend likes it, too!  Make sure to check out what the rest of the Challenge Team did this week over on Create with Connie and Mary!
