This is my card for Carla's Hug An Australian WTUI challenge this week - you can find it HERE.
She offers us several options, and I'm certainly hoping to follow at least one more of them up. But I'm still trying to use up my Pinflair glue which I opened for Lisa's 3D paper-piecing challenge a few weeks back, so this is the card I prepped last week before our holiday.
Kind Koala stamped on rectangular piece and three times more for cutting, shaping and piecing. He's coloured with pencils, and then the foreground was sponged in before I did the layering.
For the base, I die-cut several leaves from green Bazzill, stuck them to the white card front and embossed it with a plaid ef. Then I added the little pink punched flowers, and gave them Stickles centres. The koala has a Glossy Accents black nose, and there are more Glossy Accents and a sprinkle of glitter on the centre of the flower. Image panel popped up on thin foam.

Adorable card. I adore that koala. What I love about this card is that you stamped those wonderful leaves, then embossed for such a fabulous textural bg!! Sabrina, my dear, this is awesome. Into my favs.

I'm always impressed when someone creates a "sculptural" card....can well image the work that goes into it. This is charming, delightful and cheery, Sabrina with that darling koala. Like the broad leaves in the bg....like in a rainforest. A fabulous card.

Your die cut and embossed background is so eye-catching and a wonderful backdrop for that sweet Koala - I nearly reached for that stamp today, as well : )
