Hello everyone!!
It's a first for me today. Never have I ever shared a koala here!! I have seen real ones at Longleat Safari park and, as a child of the 70's, used to love watching Skippy (the bush kangaroo) on TV during the summer holidays but colouring one has been a first!!
He is my DT piece for As You Like It Challenge where we are inviting you to share your favourite African or Australian animal, with your reason, of course.
On thorough inspection of my stash looking for either type, I didn't find any "safari" type animals but did find this cutie that, I think, I bought in support of an appeal when Australia was suffering horrendous drought and bush fires a few years ago. He looks a bit washed out in the picture but he was coloured with my Warm Grey Promarkers so looks much more colourful in real life. Try as I might I cannot seem to get a good photograph when it's sunny!!
So, that's it for now. See you soon xx
Very cute and I love your choice of DP too.
ReplyDeleteDo you remember the Tinga and Tucker club? They were a pair of koala puppets, might have predated Skippy, Happy Sunday afternoons eh? :)

Fabulous colours and brilliant design. Loving this... ♥
ReplyDeleteHi Sarah, a lovely Koala card and love the sentiment. I've only ever seen the rear end of one wild koala, funnily enough when looking up at them from the ground that is all you see, the rest have all been at the zoo or a wildlife park. Have a Bonza day... Megan
ReplyDeleteAww, I remember this cutie from the Whimsy Bushfires Appeal. Our lovely Crissy drew a whole set of sweet Australian animals. How perfect is that gorgeous paper with this?! So lovely and fab sentiment to finish. Love it! Hugs, Wends xoxo
ReplyDeleteI guess I missed coming by for this challenge. I've been having a hard time keeping up. I glad I did see it today. I love your dotty background and appreciate how good it looks. I tried some dots today and let's just say it is not my forte. Darling card, Sarah!
