Hope Your Day is Pan-tastic by Carol Hintermeier

Hello Ai friends!  Today I have a sweet card using the Pand-tastic Set along with the exclusive Art Impressions and Scrapbook.com Hydrangeas set.  I love pretty coffee mugs and I decided to make this one with some pretty hydrangeas!



I started out by stamping the panda in the cup onto a Post-It Note and fussy cutting it out as the photos below show.  (The oval mask is there because I originally thought I might do a bit of inking, but changed my mind).  I then stamped the panda onto Neenah 80# card stock in Copic safe ink.  I placed the masks and stamped a portion of the hydrangea onto the cup.  I removed the mask and colored it all with the Copic markers listed below.

    

I used the Rounded Rectangle Double Stitched Dies to create my shaped card.  I took a top-folding A2 card base and placed the largest die over it with the top edge of the die just beyond the fold.  This way when you run it through your machine, everything cuts except for the very top edge.  Next I added a strip of black and white striped paper to the center.  I used some black ink and stamped the sentiment that's included in the set.



I adhered the layers to the card base.  I also added foam tape to the back of the main image and popped it up onto the blue panel.  I added a few crystal clear hearts to embellish it a bit.

I think this little panda is totally adorable and love how he looks in the pretty floral cup!  Thank you for stopping by today.  Have a wonderful, crafty week!
