I'm so excited to be a guest this month with Mama Elephant! I'll have a few posts up this week featuring the amazing new set that were just released.
Today, I'm sharing two cards. This first one was inspired by my husband. He loves the Pandamonium set, and thought it would be hilarious if a panda was holding a panda balloon, lol. So, of course I made it happen for him.
I coated the small panda with glossy accents so that it looks more balloon-like. Sadly, the bottle is a few years old (I clearly don't use it that often!), so there's a bit of a yellow tinge. I wanted to add some interest in the sky, so I embossed it using the new cloud die!
I made a video for my second card, I hope you like it! (You can watch it in HD over at YouTube)
GIVEAWAY ALERT!

This card is so cute! I really like your style. I am so happy to have found your youtube channel and I hope you continue making videos!
ReplyDeleteI love your card. So creative to make a panda a balloon. Loved your video too. I always used the stamp positioner with the plastic that comes with it. Love your idea to use directly on paper. I should do that all the time when I get not so perfect impressions the first time. Thank you for your inspiration.
