I stamped the Panda image with the Stamparatus on Basic White using Memento Black ink then masked the Panda & tree to color the sky with Balmy Blue ink on a blending Brush. I then used a sponge dauber to color the tree and markers to color the leaves and add detail to the tree. The sentiment was also stamped with Memento Black using the Stamparatus to get good saturation of color. https://susan-harwood.blogspot.com/2...anda-card.html

Such a gorgeous image, so beautifully colored. I had to Google pandas and climbing, as I had never seen a photo or video of one in a tree. Makes sense, Jean, they eat eucalyptus!!!! And they are very good climbers. Welcome to uploading at SCS!!! I hope you check out the daily challenges on the homepage...something for everyone.

That is a very sweet panda image and it makes a beautiful card. Love the way you did the masking and coloring around the panda. Beautifully done in those soft colors. Great card. TFS.
