Panda Birthday with Laurie!
Hello friends!! Happy New Year to all!! Well, it’s that weird time between Christmas and Valentines Day where us cardmakers are sort of in limbo. Of course, we can continue to use our winter stamps and dies but I always get a bit antsy to start using my spring or love themed products!
I need to start building up my birthday card stash so that’s what I made for you today! I used two Flora & Fauna stamp sets to create this cute card..
I started by stamping that adorable panda from the Panda Set, as well as the two large flowers. Before colouring and fussy cutting the panda, I added the birthday banner from the Woodland Birthday Stamp Set. A lot of the images in Flora and Fauna sets are scaled to work perfectly together. After colouring with my alcohol markers, I trimmed each image with scissors.
I created a simple background on a white panel cut with a stitched rectangle die by using a hand cut mask to create the hill and sky. I used Crushed Olive Distress Ink for the green and Peacock Feathers for the blue. After adhering the flowers and the panda with foam adhesive, I decided the scene needed a wee bit more. I stamped, coloured and fussy cut the butterfly from the Panda Set and the party hat and small leafy image from the Woodland Birthday Set.
I foam mounted the panel onto a white card base, added a few clear sequins, shimmer pen and Glossy Accents to a few areas of the scene.
Thank you for dropping in today! I hope you enjoyed taking a peek at some Flora and Fauna cuteness!!
See you soon…
Laurie
