DIRECTIONS:
- Trim a white cardstock panel to 4"x 5 1/4".
- Place stencil over white cardstock and secure with masking tape around the edges. Use ink blending tools to create a gradient of color over the stencil. Use Creamsicle ink in the middle and blend out towards edges with Lemon Drop ink.
- Trim a piece of turquoise cardstock that measures 5 1/2"x 8 1/2" and fold in half to create an A2-sized card base (4 1/4"x 5 1/2"). Adhere stenciled panel to card base with liquid glue.
- Mount the panda stamp image to an acrylic block and stamp on a piece of white cardstock stamp using black ink. Color in cake image with markers. Use coordinating Frame Cuts die to trim out the panda using your die cutting machine.
- For the sentiment, trace the curve of a bowl or lid to create a curved banner and trim out. Curve the stamp on an acrylic blog to match the curve of the banner and stamp with black ink. Punch two holes with 1/16" hole punch and tie on yellow crochet thread.
- Adhere the banner sentiment to the panda with foam squares and then adhere panda to card base with foam squares.
- Embellish with a scattering of iridescent sequins adhered with liquid glue.
