Our Precious Animal 2 Two posts in one day is unusual for me but I finished the last two cards on the Australian animals and here they are. Backgrounds done the same with distress oxides but they are different and this is why I love this ink. The koala has more green and is from Dark Room Door Australian Animals Vol 2 set and the kangaroo from Vol 1 . I added some gum trees to the kangaroo card for interest but the gum leaves I fussy cut hides most of them. I now have a nice set of four cards and since I didn't add a sentiment they can be used for any occasion. I really enjoyed making these cards and so hope we don't lose to many more but today the weather was back to it's worst. Thanks for taking the time to check my cards.

Our Precious Wildlife This has been an horrific time this Christmas and New Year and I have not thought to much about crafting. The worst bush fires ever has devastated the country and especially around our area and we have been in drought for so long with no rain forecast . Very few have lost their lives but even a few are to many. Friends have lost their homes on the coast and so many others have lost their farms and whole towns are in ruins. My heart goes out to them all. We have lost so much life stock and our native animals so this is dedicated to all of those affected, especially the animals. Have a couple more to do so will get them up soon. The stamps are from Dark Room Door   Vol 1 and there is a Vol 2, love them both. These are the colours for the challenge and I used distress oxides for the backgrounds on watercolour paper. The leaves were die cut from green card and I added some shading with prisma pencils.
