My first niece on my side of the family will be having her eleventh birthday in June. I need to get a card made and off in the mail. I bought a card kit from Stampin' Up, which I usually do not do, but I loved the papers and colors, which remind me of the colors in a challenge provided by Spiltcoaststampers. The kit provides four card designs and materials to make four of each design. I really did not want to have four cards all the same, so I've been venturing forth mixing and matching the kit materials, plus adding others to come up with my own designs.
My niece is right at that in-between age when she may or may not like fuzzy animals on her birthday cards, but with the help of some inspiration from a second Splitcoasterstampers challenge, I wanted to use a panda bear on her card. I still LOVE panda bears, so I'm hoping she might enjoy them too! For this card, I used materials from three of the kit's card designs, plus added some additional cardstock colors and a panda stamp as well. Take a peek below at my cute little panda card...hope the recipient likes it!
