A few coordinating layers and some
sparkle to the Bee's wings to complete
the card after raising up a few bees.

digis, dies, and stamps for just about 
any of your creative desires.

Here's my card!
This is such a cute image and a lot of
fun to color with my TriBlend and Copic
markers. I used a stitched oval die cut 
and mounted the image on some 
coordinating designer paper. I used
a brad to add some matching ribbon.
I love using white ribbon and then
using my markers to match the color. 
A white gel pen was used to accent
some of the images. It made a great
birthday card for my SIL. 

Yup, gotta love
and I do!

PIP Challenge 2501

Here we are in a brand new year!!
Welcome! 
Time to join in the 1st challenge with 
Polkadoodles as this week's sponsor!! 
YAY!
We REALLY appreciate our sponsors!

Here's my card for this week's challenge
using "Panda Noodle".
There are always the best stamp supplies,
images, stamps, dies, stencil etc.
at Polkadoodles. Go shop! 
This card started with a great background
paper for my cute little Panda. I colored 
him with my Tri-Blend and Copic markers.
Being in FL now, I can't bring all my goodies
with me. BUT, I still manage. hehe
I added some white pen touches and
a glaze and sparkle pen for the sunglasses.
I used mounting tape to raise up the
Panda and sentiment. I typed the 
sentiment so I could send it to my
sister-in-law for her January birthday.
