Hey everyone - I'm back with my third & final card for the current Day of the Month Card Club Challenge - #61 National Panda Day. Wishing them a happy 5th blog birthday too!!
Supplies: Paper - Neenah Solar White; Recollections Black;
scraps of green; Paper Studio A2 card
Stamps with Dies - Poppystamps Whittle Panda Pickup Kit
Dies - Hero Arts Thorn Tree and Grasses
Other - Memento Tuxedo Black Ink; foam tape; Copics
I'd used up my panda items so didn't think I'd be entering a 3rd card to DotMCC this time. Then last Tuesday I was checking my blogging friends' posts and spotted Lisa's (My Paper Tales) link to her Poppystamps post. Besides her darling card, she made a treat bag featuring a pickup truck. While the pickup was sweet, I noticed it came in a kit with, you guessed it, PANDAS!! I placed an order right away &, even with our bad weather, it arrived yesterday. Didn't get my mail until after chorus rehearsal last night but, with more snowy & icy weather today, stayed in to work on this card.
Die cut the pandas in white and black & either pieced bits or used a black Copic to color. Die cut a bunch of bamboo stalks and shaded with Copics. Die cut several panels of grass to offset for the bottom. Stamped a sentiment and inked the edges with Black Soot Distress ink. Assembled on an A2 card - done! I'm really happy with how this turned out.
I'll also link to Darnell's March NBUS Challenge since my panda kit got first play today.
Thanks for visiting & have a crafty day!!
