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.
