Panda Valentine's Day Card

Created this Valentine's Day card because I like Pandas.

I used a fav Stitchy Bear digi, Panda Love. Look at the black eye on the bigger Panda & tell me if you think the black area has a "heart" shape.

I used a new heart edge punch that I do not know the manufacturer of and it made for wonderful use of negative space punching on pink cardstock and using red cardstock behind the  punched out area. Used layers of pink, red & white. Stamped a sentiment "Happy Valentine's Day!" that I do not know manufacturer of.

 

























Here's a photo of me at the
Dallas Museum of Art (DMA)
next to a Panda chair:
