I just love how realistic this image is! The art is by Sandra Jordan and you should check out her Collection of Images at Coronado, they are magnificent! She has such a way of getting the animals just right and having them look so real. Her collection of Big Cats is probably my favorite... but then you know I am a little partial to cats -- big and small! These Panda's are so easy to use... very easy to color! lol! I added some color to the grass and airbrushed a little blue in the background. The bamboo pieces I used on the card are from a Bamboo place mat.... I friend picked it up when she was shopping one day, it was a mat of bamboo strips bound together. She had the great idea to break the strips apart and use them as embellishments... Thanks Miriam!!! I used a Cuttlebug Leaf Folder on the solid blue panel, but then ended up covering it all up! I added some little doodle dots here and there. The hanging panel is popped up and raised off the card base. The Asian Symbol stands for Prosperity.

I love all of the panda cards that you posted, but this one is my favorite because of the pretty blue background! Love the bamboo detail and the dots around your nestie shape really make it shine! Beautiful card!
