Shake That Booty

Panda butts! Is there anything cuter?  Well, yes, but panda butts are particularly cute, especially the ones in the new Whimsy Panda Butt set! I love them so much I was inspired to make 2 cards. Plus, I didn't want to waste my experimental background!

This is the first card I had made where I first experimented with bamboo placement. Really simple card with just a bit of sponging, the bamboo stamping and then coloring up a couple of the pandas. 

With the second card I cut apart the first card's initial bamboo background experiment that I hadn't liked although it was perfect for using with the Peekaboo Windows 2 die.  I used the Messy Mesh Background to make my own patterned paper on the card base.

Now tell me. Could anything be easier to color than pandas?  Not a lot going on there palette wise, am I right?!  And these sentiments are perfect for images--eeeeeeeeeeee!

Breakfast for Two

Hello, Whimsy Fans! Toni here sharing a super fun and colorful shaker card using the Whimsy We Go Perfectly Together set which is chock full of paired foods. I chose pancakes and syrup since my hubs loves those for breakfast. Weirdo! Give me a waffle over pancakes any day!

I inked up the Messy Mesh Background with Distress Oxide Salty Ocean, Mustard Seed, Picked Raspberry, Twisted Citron. Artistically messy rainbow! The hearts are stamped with the same Distress Oxides. I then diecut the circle using the new Pierced and Stitched Circle Dies. I'm going to use these so much!

Next I stamped the Whimsy We Go Perfectly Together images with Memento Tuxedo Black and colored them up with Copics. Now time for some shaker madness!  I created the simple, flat shaker by adhering a piece of acetate to the card front and base, carefully enclosing a few sprinkles. I like using Ranger Glossy Accents for this as it dries so quickly.

The sentiment is stamped with VersaFine Onyx Black onto one of the Quick Strips dies.
