A good friend of mine asked me to make a Birthday card for her daughter, who loves pandas. When we went to Washington last year we were lucky enough to see some giant pandas at Washington Zoo. I bought a pack of decoupaged Joules pandas in anticpation of making a scrapbook page of the event. I was able to make use of two of them for this card. The pandas are so soft and tactile. I used papers from Papermania aqua capsule collection and die cut some circles from pearlised card with a Marianne Die. Flowers are Prima, patterned and velvet with brads. Loads of different textures on this card making it perfect for the challenge at Paper Sundaes and as it is dimensional also fits the challenge at Papertake .
Had a lovely day with Lynsey at the Sincerely Yours show and finally managed to buy the MS PATP Cherish set which I have wanted for ages and couldn't find in the US. I also bought some gorgeous papers, just one stamp(!!), and some other goodies. Met some lovely people on the stands and saw some demos. Have so many ideas now, can't wait to play.
