I tailored this card especially for my sister's birthday as she is absolutely in love with Bao Bao. She visits Bao Bao regularly at the National Zoo in DC. I think she will really like this.
I used a bamboo ef on the white parts of the card, but it may now show up on photo, plus I ended up covering most of it up and that was going to be my secondary focal point to the panda, but things got away with me like they sometimes do.
I used some copper mesh at the bottom to kind of resemble fencing at the zoo for whatever that is worth. Just a little something extra. Didn't realize it looked like a fence until after I put it on. Everything is popped up on dimensionals for a depth effect.
Thanks for taking a look and have a great weekend!

Oh, Miss Pam, it's wonderful to see another card from you - and wow! This is absolutely over-the-top gorgeous and so precious with Bao Bao in it! Ah, your sister is going to love and cherish this one! I can see the love and heart you've put into making this card for your sister, and I just love everything about it. I see tilt my laptop screen and could see the bamboo embossing folder. It's a sensation and is in my faves now! Hugs, sweet friend!!
