Koality Friend
I made this card for the MFT Sketch and Color challenges. The orange and red in the color challenge reminded me of a beautiful Australian sunset, so I had to pull out the MFT Cuddly Koalas for my card.
I started off with a watercolor background for the sky and grass. I love using watercolors for a sky since it is a lot easier and faster to get intense colors compared to ink blending.
The koalas and tree were colored with Copics and just a small touch of Polychromos. Although the images were die cut, I did some fussy cutting on the tree to remove white areas between the leaves so that the beautiful sky could show through. I also cut apart one koala's legs and one koala's arms so it would look more like they are on the tree and holding the branch.
