Cute Koala

This is another double triangle mini fold card and you can see the video here how to do it. It's really easy! I also tried using some Copic blending solution to make him look "furry". See the before and after down below. Still need to practice this technique!

I made my god-daughter some bowl cozies for Valentine's Day. She is a huge fan of Mickey Mouse and Minnie Mouse so I hope she likes them. (they keep your bowls from burning your fingers when you heat something in the microwave).

I love the bowl cozies and the material you used. They are so cute. I've never heard of them.

Your card is cute. Your blending solution technique doesn't look bad. Using the grays is always hard when using that technique because the colors were already light. It still looks furry though. Always color the animal first and then do the technique before you color anything else. You don't want furry trees, clothing, butterflies, flowers etx.

Your little koala is so cute! ...and very well colored, I'd say! I have my ups and downs with alcohol markers - sometimes it works on the first try and sometimes it doesn't at all!
I love your bowl warmers! No more burnt fingers - how genius is that!! Thank you so much for playing along with us at DotMCC! Rosi x
