Sandy is our hostess this week for the Tickle a Teapotter tea party - her challenge is HERE.
I had a choice of three, and time permitting I'll get to at least a seahorse if not a peacock too, but I started with this little koala. His name is appropriate, since me first two were called Coco and Coffee.
I started out by stenciling the jungle frame with DOX inks. Stamped Kahlua in the centre and then decided that a frame would work perfectly, so I cut one frm green glitter card. Coloured the image and added the frame. For a little more interest, I added some enamel dots in the centre of the purple flower, and some die-cut foliage. Kahlua's nose is shiny with Glossy Accents.

Oh my goodness, this koala image is so sweet. He looks like he might be afraid of heights which could be a problem for the little guy! Your stenciled background is the perfect backdrop for your image panel. I love the touches of sparkle and shine you added as well as the lovely 3D elements. How fun to know you love koala bears so much! ~Karen.

I love all the Koala bears this challenge - but yours is sooooo cute!!! I love his face, it is such a sweet face. I love the elements you put him in too; he is more at home.

Wonderful stencilled background - the perfect place for this koala to hang out it - high up in the trees. He will be very happy with his leafy habitat.

Kahlua is a darling little fella and the scene you've created, with the foliage both stenciled and die cut, seem to put him right at home. Love the touch of purple with the flower on top. So sweet!

Great colouring of your cute koala image, Sabrina, and I like the forest foliage bg! Koalas are and magic when spotted in their natural habitat - not that common! Happy holiday to you~
