Panda Thinking of You Card

Created this Panda Thinking of You Card using a digi I won from Stitchy Bear by participating in One Stitch At A Time (OSAAT)Ch112 Use a Digi/Mother's Day with my Mouse House Card. Card can be for female or male.

Entering this into this wk's OSAAT Ch113 Use Your Favorites. My favorites are Pandas & Spellbinders dies.

Used Spellbinders Nestabilities Large Labels dies with black & white cardstock for the Panda & the sentiment. I used a Whimsical Design Everday Sentiment clear stamp by cutting the clear stamp in order to fit onto the die cut size of smallest Spellbinder Nestabilities Large Labels die cut. Used a Cuttlebug Oriental Weave Bamboo to emboss the Bamboo onto the shiny green core'dinations cardstock. Sanded the embossed Bamboo & inked it. Tied a ribbon & added a bow.

Mini Sandcastle Card

I created this Mini Sandcastle Card
with several challenges in mind.

Not made many a mini card in my time.
Try saying that several times. Heehee.

Thought about using distress ink on edges,
sandpaper or tearing edges of the paper but
then that would have not been clean or simple
for me or for one of the challenges.
