Panda Squared

  

I just LOVE Sale-A-Bration!!!   I definitely would have bought this Party Panda stamp set if it was available for purchase, but it's only available as a FREE item during Sale-A-Bration, with a $50 purchase.  And who doesn't love free stuff, especially when it's adorable free stuff. 

  I thought I'd play along with the sketch challenge at Sunday Stamps, and square up these little fellas.  I used Smoky Slate for the panda on the squares, stamped twice, and Memento Tuxedo Black for the oval panda, stamped twice, for a nice stark contrast between the two shades.   The square pandas almost look like there's a layer of vellum over them.  

I found this layout worked very nicely for me and I'll add it to my favorites for future use.

SUPPLY LIST FOR T-SHIRT CARD:

Glimmery Stylish Stems

I received the Special Reason stamp set at On Stage and it wasn't love at first sight, and thought if I had the  coordinating Stylish Stems Framelits Dies, it would kindle the love for the stamp set.  While this card only features the Framelits, the stamp set and I have become friends and I will show them off in my next post.  (Save 10% on the stamp set & dies with the Special Reason Bundle).

The lovely Succulent Garden Designer Series Paper looks so pretty with the stamps & dies duo.

I had to use the delicious new Glimmer Paper and I wish you could see the actual card because it's so, so pretty!  The 6" x 6" Glimmer Paper Assortment Pack was added on to the Sale-A-Bration items which you can earn for FREE!  Hurry, because Sale-A-Bration items are ONLY AVAILABLE through March 31st.

Lift Me Up Shaker Card

I had some Sprinkles Embellishments spilled out on my craft table and thought they coordinated nicely with several sheets from the Carried Away DSP, so before the idea vanished from my poor short-term memory, I put together a pretty shaker card using the Lift Me Up Bundle.
