Have you ever seen a purple kangaroo before? I'm following a color challenge over at Penguin Palace's challenge blog, and so I thought, why not? This little kangaroo and her joey are darling, and I wanted to use them in the challenge, so I made the mama dark purple and the joey light purple so I could include them in this card for the challenge. They came from Penguin Palace's Adventure in Australia digital stamp set. I love that the joey is holding a beach ball! That's perfect for this month's challenge over at Inspiration Station where the challenge graphic includes a beach ball. I sized up the mama kangaroo and joey as well as the sentiment from the set and did a print and cut using my Silhouette Cameo 4. Then I colored the digi with my Ohuhu Honolulu alcohol markers and also colored the sentiment label with the same light purple I used on the joey. I added them with foam tape to a card panel I had stenciled using the Penguin Palace Aster Charm Stencils 360 stencil. If you've never heard of the Stencils 360 platform and stencils, I highly recommend taking a look here: Stencils 360°™ - Penguin Palace (ppstamps.com).
The asters in this stencil kind of remind me of fireworks. I think if I left the leaves off them, I could easily do them in red and blue on a white background for a 4th of July card.

This is really cute! I lone that sentiment. I got to go to Europe (London, Germany and Austria) this past spring. It was my first time abroad. It was amazing!! Australia would be at the top of my list too. Hope you make it someday. Thanks for joining us at Art Impressions.
