Birthday pandas!

Hello, hello! 

Happy Thursday, almost Friday! 
Today, I'm sharing  a sweet birthday panda card I designed for Crafty Stamp Co.! 

Who doesn't love pandas?!...And pandas with balloons?!...Yes, please!! :) I think we can always use a birthday card at any given time, they just seem to 'pop up' out of nowhere (lol) at times, right?!...(hopefully it's not just me that thinks that! lol) 

Without further ado, here is my card...


Ack! So fun, right?!...
When I started things for this card, all I knew was I wanted to use the Party Like a Panda stamp set but I didn't know of a layout or anything. Which led me to flip through the Crafty Stamp Co. Inspired by the Sketch sketchbook. And glad I did! (lol) I went off using sketch #37...a little loosely but you still can see the sketch layout. ;) 


After that, things came together with ease. I just colored up the pandas and then did some fussy cutting once done. Then I used the confetti stencil with a blending brush and hot pink/fuchsia ink and blended it only on part of the left side of the card base. Added the pandas using foam tape and then added a few more pieces of 'confetti' using a black and teal gel pen. To finish things off a stamped sentiment onto white cardstock and then cut things into a banner/flag. Simple and fun, right?!...


I hope I was able to inspire today!?!...Thank you so much for stopping by!
Have a wonderful day!
