Okay so it was time to ‘play’ today and I know you have seen lots of Yupo and inks from me recently but I just had to do one more.
And that’s because the August Essentials Challenge is to use Alcohol Ink and there is still time to join. It runs until September 18th and you have the chance to win a $50 Gift Certificate to the Ellen Hutson Store.
I used the United We Flourish set G’Day Mate which has the most adorable Australian critters (and all these sets come with coordinating dies, gotta love that – tick).
One of the most shy of Australian animals and I love watching these little fellas, but I didn’t know that they drank cocktails, who would’ve thought! I blame the Beach Leading Lady for that (wink).
No video today but I did want to let you know about a SALE happening at Ellen Hutson, this collection combines some of the most wonderful stamp companies and you can save 30%!
I’ve linked everything that I used in my card today below and I will be back tomorrow with a video. Have a fabulous one! Hugs,

Lovely card with an awesome background!!
So cute! He’s probably been up to Mt Tamborine visiting the wineries instead. I’ve seen some at Platypus Creek. 😀 Great card. 💖
Aww!! these little critters are indeed super adorable, and your little Platypus really shines on that amazing background.
The colors blended beautifully on the Yupo paper.
Thank you for sharing.

Super cute, Therese! The real feat is that he figured out how to drink through the straw!
Heehee…this is too cute! Fabulous background!
WOW! Gorgeous ETOH inked background, Therese…such a beautiful mix of colors and it works perfectly with your cute little platypus! Love this card to pieces! How fun that you found some great Aussie sentiments, too 🙂
What a fun card! The platypus is adorable with his cocktail, and I love the background 🙂
What a gorgeous background, Therese … there’s a fabulous depth to all those luscious blended colours! Lovely as it is, though, it’s the little cocktail drinking platypus that’s the star of the show … what a cute and clever little chap he is!! Hugs, Anita 🙂
Love the background. Never too much. Maybe that’s why they are so shy they are tucked away drinking cocktails 🙂
fab card Therese, love the colours used for the background.
