WCC10 Kind Koala Blendabilities

Welcome to our WaterCooler Challenge!

This week our challenge is to present a project

that uses the new Stampin' Up! Blendabilities.

 

For this challenge, I wanted to create a card that could be

used for a masculine or feminine recipient.  Kind Koala (p 113)

is the perfect image.  I also like the Fabulous Four (p 13)

set of sentiments, because they are large images that

fit nicely on a card!  Maybe it's just that I'm getting older

and like to be able to read sentiments easily?!

I colored the koala with a "base coat" of Blush from the

Blendabilities Skin Tone Assortment (p 212), so

that the koala would take on a lighter tone.  Then I

added layers from the Crumb Cake Blendabilities Set.

I punched a 1 3/4 circle in a piece of Old Olive card stock,

dry embossed with the Woodgrain Embossing Folder.

The Koala was mounted behind the opening so that the 

flower image was omitted.  That enabled me to add the 

balloon, punched from a 1 1/4 inch circle punch and

the Owl Builder Punch.

Now pop on over to the WaterCooler Challenge site to

check out the other ideas.

Blendabilities Are Here!

Kind Koala is a great set to color with Blendabilities.

It's not too big, so it doesn't take a long time,

and the finished product is just too cute!

In this example, I used Daffodil Delight and 

Coastal Cabana Blendabilities to color the Koala.

You'll also notice that I used the new Hearts Border Punch.

You can use the negative or positive portion of this punch,

which increases the opportunities for coordinating.

Flowershop with Blendabilities

Sadly, one of my favorite images from this card is retiring;

Off the Grid.  I can't believe that it is retiring because it is such
a great background, that I use often.   

This card features the new 
Pumpkin Pie Blendabilities (availability to be announced),

which enables coloring White card stock, rhinestones,

ribbon, and anything else you might think of!
The flowers are from the Flowershop bundle, 
which includes the stamp set and coordinating punch 
(or you can purchase the set or punch separately).
The sentiment comes from the 
Really Good Greetings set, which will be in the new catty.
