I got to play with an image from The Stamping Chef this week, some of my fasvourite images come from this store, this one is called  "You're Koalafied".  Perfect for an Aussie.

I actually got to hold a koala too many years ago for me to mention, check out the photo below, yes that's me!  Holding a Koala is not something that we can do anymone, which is sort of sad, as it gave those of us who were lucky enough to come into close contact with our native animals are greater appreciation for their uniqueness.  They are warm to hold, but they are also heavy, this one was a large adult.

In Australia our official sporting colours are green and gold, taken from the Golden Wattle our national flower, I've chosen to use these colours as my patriotic colours for this week, check back next week and I will have something Red, White an Blue.

The image has been coloured with Copic Pens, mounted on designer paper.  I have added some small branches, using a Martha Stewart punch, coloured pearls with a copic pen to create some stylisitic wattle. Added a sentiment well known here.  Inside more of the same paper and the senttiment that came with the image.

Lovely card. I had a photo taken with a koala 46 years ago. And my daughters and I had one taken 14 years ago.
