This is another sample from Angel's Landing image set called Aussie Animals. I just love how Judi drew all of the animals - so stinkin' adorable. If you haven't tried going digital yet, you should start now. Check out Judi's online store. I'll be making more cards in the next couple of weeks.
I created this with the Limited Supply Challenge in mind - the colors of the base card are based on the color I have in my craft room - tangerine color. I have been wanting to make a round scalloped circle card and this was the perfect opportunity.
I created the scalloped circle using the Cricut and used the largest size at 5 1/2" (note: I used the baby Cricut to cut the scalloped circle). I wanted the scallops to go all the way around so I created a fold at the top with a bone folder and used red tacky tape to adhere it together (snipped off extra edges around the scallops). I used a crop-a-dile to make the smaller circles.
I adhered microbeads on the center of the flower with some clear liquid glue. I wanted to make this koala girlie so I added a bow on top of the head.
To make it look like the koala was holding the flower, I slit a small opening at the top of the left paw and inserted the flower in the opening and placed it how I wanted the flower to fall. I just taped the flower on the back so that it wouldn't move.

Alma, thanks so much for your sweet comments about my images . This card is adorable. Great coloring job on the koala, and I like the way you have her holding the flower stem. That's a cute little touch to add the bow by her ear, too. Everything works so well with the scallops.
