Panda wearing glasses

Good morning all, I hope you are having a good week. We are having an awful lot of rain and bad weather here at the moment so I hope you are faring better than us.

Today's card is a bit of a mix of stamp and die sets, the panda is from the Mamma Elephant set Pandamonium and is stamped with Tuxedo Black Memento Ink.

The balloons are from the WPlus9 set called Whole Lotta Happy and I cut them with some offcuts from my scrap box. 

The number 8 is from an MFT Stamps Starlight Number set and the back frame is from Wonky Stitched Elements by Avery Elle.

See what I mean, quite a mixture lol, but that's the beauty of stamping and die-cutting. It doesn't matter who the manufacturer is, if you like something and it works with what you already have then it's definitely worth it.

I did a little bit of background stamping, and stamped a sentiment using stamps from the Mama Elephant Mini Message set. Then I finished it off with a pair of glasses care of a Taylored Expressions die set.

Hope you like it, take care and I'll see you soon.

I like your style

Good morning all, hope you are having a good week.

I have been trying to make myself use up some of the bits of paper from my scrap box, so thought I would have a go at a simple male card. 

We recently purchased the glasses die by Taylored Expressions, and then in this month's Simon Says Stamp kit there was a little pair of wooden glasses. 

Well it seems it was meant to be, so I cut quite a few of the glasses and then doubled the layers up to make them a bit thicker. 

Then I got to work with the glitter pen and Copics to make them different colours. But as I wanted it to be quite masculine I stayed with a limited colour palette. 

The stamp is from a Creative Expressions set that we have had for ages, but I thought the sentiment fit very well. 

The card and papers are all from my scrap box, so at least I have made a tiny dent in it, lol. Then I finished the card with a layer of acetate over the front.  

Hope you like it, take care and I'll see you soon.
