Hi all,
I used some previously made bg panels. one that looked foresty and one I had done with a stencil to contrast, I made my frame and flowers from that one.
I found this cute digi on Etsy (i don't remember who).
I have to admit that I know nothing about Australia landscape or the colors of the animals...I had to look up the koala to see how to color him. I faked it on the forest. Decided to put flowers up in the trees??? I don't know!
So I did this card in honor of my Aussie mates. Don't tell me if I'm way off base ok...just let me think I did a good job, heehee!!
Thanks for looking!

G'day mate, I had a chuckle at your write-up. Your scenery is fabulous and reminds me of many, many places downunder. Everything about this is fabulous - I love the green forest background and the purple border is great too. Your cute little koala is the icing on the cake.

Robin, your colouring of the koala is wonderfully done and this looks like he could be hanging onto a tree in his native landscape. A wonderful card to help us Aussies celebrate our Australia Day~

One of my very few digital purchases was a Down Under collection and I didn't even use it today because I wanted to use my RAK image. I'm sure you'll get to use this sweet koala again...What a gorgeous setting you created for him too, Robin. I love the flowering vine, reminds me of the tropical glasshouse in the Botanic Gardens.

This is such a fabulous card, Robin! Love the way you colored your koala adding texture to his fur. Your cheerful colors make this such an upbeat card!
