Hello Friends and Happy Monday! That's another weekend in the books, I hope you had a great one. Today begins a new challenge month at The Inspiration Station Challenge Blog, with our inspiration photo prompt being a fun and festive one:
I was inspired by the birthday party atmosphere of the photo, so I've created a birthday card using the "Panda Peekers" Stamp Set by Whimsy Stamps.
To start, I've stamped and colored this adorable Panda using Spectrum Noir Illustrator Alcohol Brush Markers. I then fussy cut the image and set aside to create the background.
Using a square nesting die from My Favorite Things, I've created a Polaroid-type photo frame, leaving enough space at the bottom to stamp a greeting, which is included in the stamp set.
Using patterned papers from a Kat Scrappiness birthday essentials pack, I've backed the opening in the frame and die cut balloons. I've embossed the red mat using an older birthday folder from Darice, adhered the Panda image flat and popped the balloons on foam pads. Lastly, I've added Baker's Twine strings to the balloons and stamped a Happy Birthday greeting on the inside of the card.
We hope you'll join us this month at The Inspiration Station Challenge and share how you're inspired by the photo prompt.
Until next time, Happy Crafting!
