Special Guest - Candice Fisher - Panda Butt

I am absolutely in love with these pandas from the Panda Butt stamp set, just look at those cheeks (this stamp set has both kind of cheeks, hehe!) I love that the stamp sets from Deb Davis's collection at Whimsy Stamps take center stage and you really can keep your cards simple and showcase their cuteness!

   

This card was a quick one, but has a lot of detail that makes it look more advanced. Also, it helps that when coloring pandas, it's pretty basic and goes quickly! For this card, I used these Whimsy Stamps products:

• Panda Butt stamp set
• Fly By stamp set
• Gingham rubber stamp

 

To start my card, I created a 5 x 6.5 card base from thick white cardstock. I then die cut the hearts layover using dies, but you could also use your cameo or cricut too, using the same thick white cardstock as my base. Next, I stamped the gingham background using black versafine ink for a detailed black image. I used the same versafine to stamp the hugs sentiment and the hang in there sentiment. I then stamped the cutest panda ever & the bamboo, colored with copics, and fussy cut out, but you can get the coordinating dies to make it much easier!

 

To put it all together, I pop dotted the heart layover on the gingham piece and glued to the card above the sentiment. I added the panda and bamboo above the hugs. I felt the card needed a little more, and I added the banner. To create the banner, I heat embossed the take care panda bear with black, die cut the small banner, and inked with tattered rose. For my simple embellishments, I added some enamel dots in the color of the panda cheeks and banner. I can't tell you how much I love these stamp designs by Deb Davis, even my husband has commented how much he loves her stamp sets! You can always share your creations with us on Whimsy Stamps and Inspiration on Facebook and also join in the monthly challenge for your chance to win! Thank you again for visiting and will share one more card with you as Guest Designer for the month of May! Candice
