Panda!


Second part of commission. A card for a panda lover... which didn't turn out like I originally envisioned it, but ended up being pretty damn cute anyway. 

I hand-sketched a panda face and cut it out to use as a template for the base card (China White) that was folded in half with a small hinge left on top for the card to open. The separate bits - ears, eyes, nose and mouth were cut out of dark Mocha cardstock (I'd completely forgotten to buy black, but this colour worked well too) and pasted on.

For the inside of the card, I used letter stickers to make the word 'panda', and I drew a cupcake on a separate sheet of cardstock, coloured it in with Copics and Aqualip, cut it out and put it on with foam adhesive.

The face can be flipped to the back so that the inside is displayed with the ears still visible :)
