Koala Punch Art Card

I managed to finish the instructions for my little koala this morning (Mom Kangaroo and her little joey are a little more involved) so he's the one I'm sharing first.

 

My little Koala is sitting on the ground infront of what I hope can be mistaken for a eucalyptus plant (techinally the leaves are not the right shape but work with me please).

Here is what just the background looks like:

 

I hand cut the dirt/sandy ground. The "eucaluptus" consists of various leaf stem dies that I cut in a light and dark green sahde. I then inked the leaf edges in darket green and inked the stems in brown.

 

Supplies sed:

Cardstock: Bazzill

Greeting:  Teeny Tiny Wishes - SU

Punch: Speach Bubble/cloud - Emagination

Ink: All SU: Garden Green, Always Artichoke, Soft Suede, Pacific Point, Crumb Cake, Basic Black and for the Koala- Basic Gray and Sahara Sand

Die: Leafstem - Sizzix (Old die from the red Sizzix days)

Misc.: white gel pen, foam mounting squares (and I use a little red/pink chalk for the cheeks)
