I made this card for RaiLynn, Teapot Challenge, who has to spend a lot of time in the hospital for cancer treatments. We were to make "Bright & Cheery" cards so I colored my emu with rainbow of colors.
I saw that Susie Australia had made a card with this set of cute digi images by Crissy Armstrong at Whimsy Stamps. Whimsy is generously donating all the proceeds to the Bush Fire appeal for animals. So, of course, I had to get this wonderful set of stamps. Thanks for the inspiration Susie!
I colored and fussy cut out my images, then used Copic Blending solution with a washrag to create some texture on the koala and emu. I popped them up on my embossed background with 3D pop dots, then added Crystal Lacquer to their eyes.
Hopefully, this will bring some smiles to RaiLynn! Thank you to everyone sending her cards. I think this is her 4th 30 day stay at Mayo. Not fun!

Oh my goodness those Whimsy stamps are just the cutest and the bright cheery colors are just perfect for a card for RaiLynn. Thank you so much for playing along this week.

That rainbow emu put a big smile on my face and it's sure to be a hit with RaiLynn, too. Love all the tiny details like the softly colored and embossed foliage in the bg to flitting blue butterflies to the super colored fussy cut images

This incredibly adorable card made my morning! The rainbow emu is beautiful and i want to give that koala bear a hug, it's so darling. Great work on the coloring, everything about this is just awesome.

I'm in the hospital right now. Had to have my gallbladder out. Two days in the hospital is plenty thanks. I feel for sweet RaiLynn having to spend thirty days in the hospital. But at least she'll have this fun rainbow emu with her. Brilliant!

Delightful, smiling big time here. The rainbow emu is fantastic. And I like the waving eucalyptus leaves, I can just about smell them. Goes without saying that I adore the koala.
