G'day is the most popular greeting in the land downunder and the expression "no worries" is probably the most commonly used saying. Aussie are generally very laid back which is a good thing otherwise we might start to think about all the deadly creatures that live here.
Here's Jacko having a nap in his hammock surrounded by koalas (courtesy of a kids colouring page and Prismacolour pencils).
The background is the simple Smack & Squirt technique - smack distress ink pad onto al foil, squirt on a lot of water then sponge the inky water onto cardstock using a foam blending tool). I only used Salty Ocean and Mowed Grass.
Thank you for looking and I hope you get a chance to join in the fun.

Perfect! What can I say? The fact that in Canada I am behind Australia timewise saves me over and over when I forget to call for family birthdays. I always end up saying, " it's still your birthday here!"

Giggle! Oh Susie, this card is just fantastic and the sentiment takes this way over the top! These koala bears are just the cutest and so is this "mister" snoring away in his hammock. Ha! Congratulations on this card being selected as a favorites so many times! Hugs! ~Karen.
