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:

Panda Love Thank You Recognizing My Daughter Card

Created this card as a Thank You to recognize my Daughter who is a junior in college studying Art Animation and is doing quite well in her studies.

Printed the Stitchy Bear Panda Love digi on white cardstock.
Cut the digi out with Spellbinder.  Used a corner punch that complimented the Spellbinder die. Used Stamp N Plus Stardust chalk on white cardstock that digi is printed on the parts that are near each of the punched out tear drops. Left the Spellbinder die on the white cardstock and used VersaMark and then the chalk going around in a circle on the parts that are near each of the tear drops that were punched out. Stamped a sentiment from K. Andrew Designs Postive Thoughts stamp set. Added pearls & ribbon.
