Hello Blogland! Yes, here I am after quite a long absence. The year-end was quite busy including a change of location for our RV. We decided to do small town for a while. The peace is almost palpable and the silence loud, but we are enjoying it a lot.
Recently I saw that Kris at
Imagine That Digistamps had started a
progressive challenge. I love her stamps and when I saw this cute panda, I had to join. So here is my make.
I wanted the image to be the focus of my card and keep the style completely CAS. I designed the layout of the panel in Silhouette Studio, adding the image into the bottom right-hand corner of my panel and added a sentiment from my Imagine That Digistamp stash. I printed the panel out onto regular cardstock. While coloring on smooth cardstock is quite different to coloring on my favorite drawing paper, it makes for a change.
I colored the digi with my Prismacolor colored pencils. Yes, pandas are not brown and orange – I know. But pandas don’t float in umbrellas either, so… To do the hearts, I challenged myself to go through my pencil swatch chart and make every heart a different color. So none of them are the same. I then added white highlights with a Signo pen and colored the handle stem of the umbrella with a silver gel pen.
Once I had done the coloring, I cut the panel out with a stitched rectangle die and adhered it to the front of a white cardbase.
Thank you for all of you that visit me so regularly. I appreciate your visit and your comments and would like to wish you all the best for 2021. Stay healthy.

Oh no! My heart literally just sank when I read you've moved. I mailed you off a new year/thank you card to the Oracle Rd. address 2 days ago! Well, I guess I will have to thank you here for the card. The panda is adorable and a lovely card. xoxo
Monica this card is just beautiful, love the colors on everything and how the panda pops along with the hearts. The stitched rectangle adds the perfect finishing touch.
I hope your move will be relaxing for you and I too mailed a card out late, hope it makes it to you. Hugs, Lori m

Hello Monica. I always love your CAS cards and this one is no exception. Such an adorable image of a panda catching hearts in an umbrella!
I didn't realise that you have moved, so unless you left a forwarding address my card won't reach you 🙁 Anyway, if at all possible, have a healthy and happy 2021! xx
