Hi everyone! This month we have a new release at Rachelle Anne Miller with the theme Beautiful World. It will be released on Thursday December 16th 2021. My favorite design of this release are the Cuddling Koalas. They are just absolutely adorable! To compliment the sweet design, I kept the colors of the card quite soft.

I printed the Cuddling Koalas and the sentiment from Christmas Mice on Perfect Colouring paper. Before I started coloring, I first die cut the scene with the Slim Window Dressing die to get a nice edge around it. The scalloped design I colored with YG63, and after that, I colored in the rest with my Copic markers.

  • Koalas: W6, W4, W2, W0, R20, R30, E74
  • Tree: E43, E42, E41
  • Leaves: YG67, YG63, YG61
  • Flowers: YR21
  • Border: YG63
  • Sky: BG0000

After coloring, I adhered it on a card base which was slightly larger than a standard slimline card. This gave a nice white edge around the design. As a final touch, I added details with a white gel pen, like the dots on their cheeks.

I hope you like this card and it gave you inspiration. Thank you for stopping by and see you next time!
