Koalaty Friend

Hello Crafty Friends!

Just stopping in to share a quick and super easy, yet totally cute koala card!!

Koalaty Friend

Koalaty Friend Dies

Stitched Rounded Rectangle Dies

Stitched Circle Dies

Stitched Greeting Dies

Be Brave 6×6 Paper Pad

I started by stamping my image with Versafine Onyx Black ink onto 140 lb Mixed Media Paper.

I colored my images using Tim Holtz Distress markers and blended out the color with a water brush. I sped up drying time with a heat tool and added additional shading by going back over it with more coloring.

Then die cut my image out with the matching Koalaty Friend Dies.

I made my card front by die cutting paper from the Be Brave 6×6 Paper Pad with the Stitched Rounded Rectangle Dies.

Then die cut a window from the card front with a circle the Stitched Circle Dies.

On the backside, I used my Mega Runner to apply adhesive around the window and then attached a sheet of light blue tulle to the back.

I attached my koala to the front of the tulle window, then attached foam tape to the backside.

I cut an oval label using the Stitched Greetings Dies from white cardstock. Then stamped my sentiment using more black ink. Then used more foam tape behind the label to pop it up off the card front.

I attached blue rhinestones onto the tulle and label for a little bling.
