You must join the hop on Insta to be entered! Details below, get scrolling!

This little panda from the new Get Well Panda set is giving out birthday hugs! Yes, there are a couple of the pandas in the set that are versatile enough to use for other occasions, and I wanted to send this hug to a special friend for their birthday! 

I coloured the bear with alcohol markers (Copics) and I used the oh-so-convenient NoFuss masks from Whimsy Stamps to mask it up so that I could safely colour the background.  This card also features a sneak peek of a new stencil coming soon to Whimsy, of the long grasses! 

I also love the gorgeous slimline stencil that really helps to frame the card in such a pretty way. 

I sponged the background in with Distress Oxide Inks - no colouring with markers, so it was very fast and fairly easy to do!

Panda Get Well

Thought I would turn this little Panda Get Well set into a Birthday set for a moment! It is easy to do with a couple of the pandas actually, like this little one hanging on for his life (not in any real danger tho, he'll be ok, heheh) from a broken bamboo branch! I used the wonderful Panda Get Well NoFuss Masks to mask off the image so that I could sponge on the Distress Oxide Inks for the background.  The grasses were also sponged on using a stencil that is COMING SOON to Whimsy Stamps! So this is also a SNEAK PEEK at a new product that will soon be available!

 I stamped the bamboo portion of the image several times to create a more bushy appearance and fussy cut them and arranged them on the card to make it look like it was emerging from the side of the card.  I coloured the little panda and bamboo with Copic markers.
