Panda Birthday Girl Card II (KBD Aloha Friday Challenge #98)

Happy Friday! :o)

Today a new Aloha Friday Challenge starts at Kitty Bee Designs.

The challenge for this fortnight is #98 - Girly Cards.

We have two sponsors for this challenge: Fred She Said Designs and Sweet Escape Digis, so there will be double prizes! :o)

    

And here's my take on the challenge: Panda Birthday Girl Card II.

I made this card for my landlords' daughter who's 9th birthday is today. She loved last year's card I gave her (find card here), so I decided to go with panda this year too. I went with same color scheme (pink+black+white), CAS design, different panda image and different layout. For the layout I decided to CASE my own card (find card here).

I used super cute 'Panda Love' 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.

I stamped a bow on a piece of designer paper, fussy cut it, traced edges with black marker and glued it on Panda's head.

Then I colored chipboard speech bubble with Black Soot Distress Ink and edges with black marker. I left it dry on air couple of hours. After drying, I heat embossed in white number 9 on the chipboard.

I cut out two banners, one from designer paper and other from black cardstock paper.

Lastly, I assembled all pieces together. I glued some foam on banners and Panda and glued them on a white top folded card base. I glued the chipboard speech bubble directly on the card base. As a finishing touch, I embellished the card with pink enamel dots. :o)
