Koala-Ty Valentine's Day Card by Tasha!

Happy Friday, Ai Friends! 

Tasha here, sharing my latest card featuring the super cute 5349 - Koalas Set. Koalas are just so sweet, and are perfect for a special Valentine's Day card!






The process began with the adorable Koala stamp, and to add that perfect touch of Valentine's Day charm, I introduced the heart balloon from the 5491 - Front Porch Party Set. The pop of red from the heart balloon not only screams Valentine's Day but also adds a delightful contrast to the card.

To create the scene, I used masking paper to cover the koala image before working on the sky and ground. The unveiling of the stamped image when lifting the masking paper is so fun and it's a great way to color a background on a single-layer card.

To make the ballon pop out more, I cut a second ballon image with the included coordinating die set. Layering it onto the card with foam tape brought a dynamic 3D effect, and a simple string drawn with a black Copic liner pen connected the heart balloon to the koala.

No card is complete without layers, and for this creation, I opted for glitter paper, card stock, and heart-themed pattern paper to complete the design.



Whether it's for an anniversary, Valentine's Day, Sweetest Day, or just to brighten someone's day any time of the year, this style of card is sure to make someone happy and smile!

Wishing you all a wonderful and craft-filled weekend!

The kola is so cute and your sky turned out beautifully. I like the dimension that the red heart creates. All together a very cute Valentines card.
