Earlier I saw a CAS card that I found quite pretty and the design of this one is due to my seeing it. Except for the oval die cuts mine is completely different to what I saw.

In looking for a stamp set for a different card, I came across my Art Impressions Panda stamp set and I pulled it out thinking it would be a good one to use soon. With the challenge twist at AAA Card Challenge #310: Anything CAS Goes being add an animal or something zoo related it seemed serendipitous that I had already put the set on my desk. First I cut the Craft Addiction oval from a piece of CS and using that I stamped my image. Then I took another scrap piece and using a StampinUP die I cut into it to get a design. This piece was then added behind the main layer and from there that layer onto the card front. I also stamped the sentiment from the same set.

To colour my image I used Prisma pencils and a Sakura gel pen along with a small amount of Gamsol to smooth the colours. To add this to the layer I used a thin piece of foam tape which was just enough to add a slight amount of dimension.

I wasn’t sure whether I had chosen the right design initially, but upon reflection I quite like the result. Many thanks for stopping by – you, your time and any comments are appreciated.
