Daisy Doodles #51 Anything Goes




At Daisy Doodles Creative Challenges we have a new challenge today

Anything Goes

*********************************************
For my card I have used this cute image of Sidney the Koala. You will receive it in 3 formats for only $2.  Head over to the Daisy Doodles Store to check them it out !


I coloured the Koala with Promarkers & Flexmarkers using the blender to pen to add some stippling to the fur and some longer tufts on his ears. I added a second layer for his head and decoupaged it using 3d foam. I love his little adorable face J

The image is matted onto a scrap of brown card and I used some handmade paper which has flocked leaves on it for the background. As Sidney is hugging the tree I thought a sentiment featuring the word hug would be appropriate and used a ticket that was a freebie from SGT Stamper.

When I was younger my maternal Grandad gave me a real Koala which he had brought back from Australia when he was in the Navy. It had been stuffed and I loved to touch the fur as it was so soft. I guess as kid I never realised it was wrong to have a real stuffed animal and wouldn’t dream of doing so today. I would much rather see a real live one than a stuffed one, and maybe one day I would be lucky enough to hold one…..

WONDERFUL!!! Love the color contrast of your card and that cute Koala! At first I thought you got to raise a LIVE Koala when you were younger. WOW...LOL. But to pet one that doesn't run away was pretty amazing too, I'm sure.

Thank you for the beautiful entry at The Squirrel & The Fox!
