PANDA-MONIUM Challenge #380

 Hello AI Fans!

Welcome to our PANDA-MONIUM challenge.

Art Impressions recently released a brand new set from Kimberley called KH5821 – Panda Set.
Her set inspired this Panda-monium challenge...Black & White cards or craft projects.

 



You DON'T need to use a panda bear unless you want to. It's just what inspired this challenge.

Before we see what Sharon, our Featured Designer created, let's see who won our last challenge.

Our Top Spot in our All That Glitters challenge goes to...
Simone Carr!

Now on to Sharon's "Pandtastic" card.
Though she chose a panda for our Panda-monium challenge, remember, you only need
to use black & white unless you want to use a panda.

Let's see and hear about what she's made to inspire you!

Hello Ai fans!

I'm excited to kick off a new blog challenge today - Panda-Monium!! We are asking for black and white cards or projects. I'm so honored to get to feature Kim's new set KH5821 Panda Set!! This set is so beautiful and it's unbelievably quick to color!  I stamped the image onto Copic friendly paper with my Memento Tuxedo Black ink and then used Copic markers to color it (they are listed below). 








I decided I wanted to put him on an oval, so I chose AI's Double Stitched Oval Dies to cut him out and create a mat with some black cardstock. I love May Arts ribbon, and I just happened to have this awesome black and white ribbon in my stash! I first glued a strip of ribbon across a piece of black cardstock, and then using my Bow Easy tool, created a bow to add. (I find it VERY difficult to make a card without putting a bow on it! LOL)





I knew I wanted to use the "hang in there" sentiment from the Panda Set, so I grabbed my AI Double Stitched Circle Dies to cut it out. I popped it up with some Scotch 3M mounting tape.



After adding some pearls to the upper right corner for balance, I called her done! A very quick and easy card! 








So that's it for me today! Thanks so much for stopping by for a visit and I hope you join the challenge for a chance to win a free stamp set of your choice! Until next time - stay crafty!!


Copic markers used:
C1, 3, 4, and 5
E71 and 74



Let's give Sharon credit where credit is due. 
Her cards are almost always BURSTING with color and yet she knocked a black & white 
card out of the park!!

Thank you so much for your beautiful card Sharon.
