Panda Cutie Card (Kitty Bee Designs Spotlight)

Hi everyone! :o)

Today is my turn to be on the spotlight over at Kitty Bee Designs and I made this Panda Cutie Card.

I used super cute 'Panda Cutie' from 2013 January Panda Releases. These Pandas are melting my heart. Love them all!! :o)

I printed the Panda on a white cardstock paper, stamped circles around Panda's eyes and colored them with black pen, as well as Panda's muzzle. Super fast and simple coloring. I fussy cut Panda and traced edges with black marker.

Then I colored chipboard speech bubble with Black Soot Distress Inks and edges with black marker. I left it dry on air couple of hours. Sometimes I use heat tool to dry chipboard faster.

For my card layout I used sketch and current challenge theme 'Use any kind of a banner', from Task for Two Tuesday Challenge, super fun challenge blog from Germany, owned by two very talented Ladies, Birka and Wiebke. Thank you girls for all the fun stuff you share on your blogs! :o)

And here's the sketch... I rotated it and put a sentiment on the top. :o)

*** Nutze Banner ***

- use any kind of a banner -

I cut out two banners, one from designer paper and other from textured black cardstock paper. I so much like this textured cardstock paper I bought over two years ago. I thought I have none, but found some scraps in my stash while I was organizing the mess. Happiness overload!! :o) (Note to myself: keep your paper scraps organized.)

Lastly, I assembled all pieces together. I glued banners and chipboard speech bubble directly on a top folded white card base, glued 3-D foams on the back of the Panda and placed it on the card. Two enamel dots as a finishing touch and this cutie is ready to make someone happy. :o)
