Party Like a Panda with Deborah
Hello all, Crew Member Deborah Hellman here to share with you my super fun birthday card using the new Party Like a Panda Stamp Set from Crafty Stamp Co. I am always in need of birthday cards, so I try to continually replenish my stash year round.
Party Like a Panda Clear Stamp Set & Let's Party 6x6 Pattern Paper
When I created this card using the pandas and coordinating patterned paper, I wanted to give the fun balloon patterned paper from the Let's Party Paper Pad some vertical movement.
- I cut a 1¼ inch strip and mounted it on some red cardstock.
- Next, I tore/distressed the edges of the cardstock to add a little interest.
- I then created a horizontal sentiment banner for the adorable birthday pandas to sit on.
- There are several sentiments included with the stamp set, so you can select the one that fits your purpose.
- Next, I colored the pandas with Copic Markers using the same color palette as the patterned paper to give the card a cohesive look.
- I always select my paper before coloring so that everything coordinates.
- Once I finished coloring the adorable pandas, I finished the card by mounting all of the components on a clean white base to provide a high contrast. I wanted my focal image and colors to really pop.
