My oldest daughter just found out last week that she passed her state-mandated elementary school tests and was officially promoted to fourth grade. I thought this sweet panda would make a cute card to congratulate her.
I started by making a notecard 4.50" x 3.25" (top folded) from Solar White cardstock and adhered the floral patterned paper to the card front. Then I die cut the Scalloped Edge Frame from Raspberry cardstock to fit on the card front. Here's how the construction looks from the back:
I stamped Sunny Panda onto Solar White cardstock and cut her out. Then I stamped her again onto the coordinating Euphoria paper and cut out her dress and hat. The patterned dress was pieced over the black & white cut out Panda and the hat was popped up with dimensional foam tape. Copic R81 was used to accent the bottom of her dress and top of her hat.
Sunny was originally holding an umbrella, but I stamped the "way to go" sentiment onto Solar White cardstock and die cut it with the smallest Classic Oval Nestabilities. While the cardtock was still in the die, I airbrushed Copic R81 in the center of the die cut. This little "sign" was adhered over the umbrella and then what was left showing of the umbrella was cut away.
Sunny was popped up over a Petite Oval Nestabilities die cut of coordinating Euphoria striped paper and small blue paper flowers, accented with Dew Drops, finish off this card.
I think this little Panda could be used for all types of congratulatory occasions, such as graduation, overcoming a sickness/health issues, meeting a goal. Thanks for visiting the CLASSroom today!
