We're travelling the world with Jett Setter for the Tickle a Teapotter party this week.
I must admit that as I've had a rotten headache for the last couple of days I was going to take the easy option and the teapot cue and go to Paris. After all, I just love Paris and we go as often as we can. But since I often make Paris cards, I thought I'd ring the changes. At first I was going to do coral and fishes for the Barrier Reef, but then I remembered one of my very (count them on one hand!!) few digital purchases.
So I'm going (virtually only, alas) Down Under, and while it will be lovely to visit my favourite brother-in-law, maybe I can also get to see Susie and Sue.
I'm sorry it's not a very exciting card for whoever gets it, but I hope they'll like the critters as much as I do.
A2 base, sponged with Squeezed Lemonade and stamped with a travel-themed stamp image in Tea Dye.
Angels Landing Aussie Animals printed on white card and coloured with Polychromos. (Not having Copics makes digital images a bit harder to colour!!). Masked, and the foreground sponged with Tea Dye and Forest Moss. Stamped along the top with a leaf from Just Beakause in Versafine Olympia Green, then sponged the sun and sky with Squeezed Lemonade and Tumbled Glass.
Carte Postale sentiment is SU, and Wish You Were Here is from Starving Artistamps.

Sabrina, this is to cute & sweet. I never make Paris cards so I thought I'd make one this time. I wouldn't mind being on an island with these cute animals.

G'day Sabrina this is a great Aussie card. You MUST come to Melbourne when you are in Australia. Your room is ready!!! I love all the comments here and each time I read the word "critter" I had a little chuckle. It's not a word we generally use, but I do love it. Some lucky Teapotter is going to love this (hint hint).

Aw, Sabrina, how adorable these little guys are - love the "Postcard" look - Wish you were here!!! Nice stamping the leaves hanging overhead and the lemony yellow coloring - bright and happy - that how we teapotters are!! Like the sponged ground and the wee bit of stitching along the bottom - SWEET CARD!! My Sister got to go to Australia - did you see Crazy Kim out there with the kangaroos??
