Earth Day 2012 Panda Card

Created this card in celebration of 
Earth Day 2012.

Used couple scrap pieces & recycled
a ribbon so all is good for the Earth.

Used Kraft cardstock for base. 
Used Tim Holtz Distress Ink walnut 
stain on the card edge. Used green 
core'dinations cardstock to emboss 
Bamboo on. Used Tim Holtz sander 
on the Bamboo embossed image.
Stamped a Panda. Some of you may 
know but one of my fav wild animals 
is the Panda. Used Tim Holtz Distress 
Ink black soot & walnut stain on the 
Panda. After all, a Panda is never clean 
white. Attached the Panda using foam 
to give it a 3D look. Used Distress Ink
broken china on sky paper. Added the
sky paper to card. Wrote calligraphy of 
sentiment on vellum. Attached the 
vellum to the sky paper using some gems.
Recycled some ribbon that was on some
adonna pjs of mine. Ironed the ribbon and
added to the side of the card.


Teddy Bear (yes he has a middle name 
of Bear) posed near card outside in my 
backyard.
