Lili Of The Valley - Panda #1

Good Morning

Hi everyone, I'm back again highlighting Lili Of The Valley's brand new stamps sets. Today I'm sharing a card I've made using one of the gorgeous 'Panda' stamps. The panda's are available as both polymer stamps and digital stamps, and can be purchased as single stamps or in bundles (see below for info). They have now launched in their store. To colour my little panda I used pastel pencils, and kept the card design fresh and clean. I hope you like it.

For your information, here is the link to the LOTV Online  Shop and the LOTV Etsy Store to check out all the stamps. FYI you can use both sites to purchase the stamps. 

Here's What I Did & Used

I trimmed down a piece of bright green patterned paper to fit the front of a 6" x 6" card blank, leaving a slim border around the edge.

The panda and sentiment was stamped onto mixed media card, then onto masking paper. The panda was fussy cut out and placed over the top of the first bear. The bamboo was then stamped over the top (to give the illusion that it sits behind the bear). The mask was then removed, and everything was coloured with pastel pencils. The finished scene was sprayed with a fixative to ensure the pastel wouldn't smudge. 

The scene was die cut into a square postage stamp frame and mounted onto pale green card. The topper was added to a slightly larger postage stamp frame, cut from white card. Funky foam was added to the back and glued to the card front. To finish the card, I added white pen to the panda's eyes and nose, and a few pearls.
