It's Panda-monium

Pandemonium = Wild disorder, which is my craft desk at the moment.  Who am I kidding, it's always like that!  Anyway, I digress.  Today we have a lovely new challenge for you at The Alphabet Challenge.  E is for 'earth bound animals' and I chose a panda - hence the blog title.  I've been trying to get rid of some of my stash bits and bobs and use up some of the digistamps I had previously printed.  I will admit that, even if I never buy another craft item again, I'm not sure it's possible.  For instance, the day before lock down I was at the V&A in London visiting the Kimono exhibition.  Whilst there I purchased some lovely oriental stickers and I'd used some of the strips of stickers to make a card that looked a little like a quilt.  Once I had trimmed it off I kept the trimmings.  I mean, who else really does that? I stencilled a pattern across the bottom of a DL card and used the trimmings as an edge.  I had a cute panda already printed from 2 Cute Ink so I coloured him up and cut off the food container and chopsticks.  This way I got him peeping over my border.  


After that I just needed to add a sentiment and some bling.  I really love how this turned out.  If you are interested in the quilted card here it is.


I must be daft keeping all these little bits but, in this case, I'm so glad I did.


Please pop over to join in the fun.

Thanks for reading.
