Panda Bear Birthday Card

For those of you that do not know one of my fav wild animals is the Panda. Recently, the baby Panda at the San Francisco Zoo made its debut to the public. I've been beating the Winter Blues by watching the baby Panda on webcam.

Created this birthday card using a new BugABoo digi, Panda. Used color scheme black, white & a touch of color which in my case is green.


Printed the digis on white cardstock, colored with pencil color, cut out & used a black Sharpie marker on the edge which I find to be my best friend on the edges to cover up the white from cutting not close enough. Used Scotch Foam Mounting Tape to give dimension to the Panda digis. Added wiggle eyes. 3mm wiggle eyes are the smallest. Used Zig 2 Way glue, tweezers and a steady hand to attach the wiggle eyes.

Embossed the scrap piece of Kraft green cardstock with Cuttlebug Oriental Weave Bamboo embossing folder and cut to size. Used Fiskars square scallop punch for sentiment tag & Stampin' Up scallop punch for sentiment tag mat. Stamped the sentiment. Used Scotch Foam Mounting Tape to give the sentiment dimension.
