Can you quess what it is???
It's a koala girl!! Isn't she cute?
Here is what I started with. I knew the second I heard the challenge, that I wanted to use up my leftover Koala from another project and I had this strip of Crinkle Ribbon already sewn/gathered just waiting to be used.
I added the scrap of black to the back of the koala since her base never was cut (which is why she wasn't used up in the project she was originally intended for). I gave her some cute cheekers, a sweet bow, outlined her and popped her up! I added Crystal Effects to the nose/eyes, let it dry, then added a second coat. Besides the 2 finger prints in it, it turned out exactly as I had envisioned! The ribbon is Snow White Crinkle Ribbon from My Craft Spot and the polka-dot scrap is leftover from an Artful Delights kit.
The rest of the cardstock are all leftover pieces of Stampin' Up! Both stamps are My Craft Spot Sweet Sentiments Set #2. I hope this little cutie brings a smile to someones face!

I love the Koala! She is too cute for words! I love all of the TLC you gave her with the cute nose, outling, and cheeks. I love the sentiment too and I am sure the receiver will love it tons! Melanie
Such a CUTE card! :-)
Amber, you always make such gorgeous creations! This sweetheart is no exception. :o) I love her sweet bow and am in love with that crinkle ribbon! Keeping everything in the gray, white, and black combo makes for such a striking presentation... and the sentiment is so gorgeous. I'm sure this will be put to excellent use and will bring such love and reassurance to the recipient. :o)
P.S. I'm glad you like my rambling posts... there's always a story! Hehehe! Clearly Twitter and I would never work. ;) I would spontaneously combust with the forced restraint!
Hugs and blessings! :o)
