🐼 It’s Challenge Time! — Sketch Style

Hey crafty friends! 👋
It’s the last Monday of the month and that means it’s time for another challenge! 🎉 This month we’re doing a sketch challenge, and I couldn’t resist letting my new panda bear join in on the fun. Because honestly… who can say no to that adorable face?!

This black-and-white beauty came together using some bold DSP patterns — perfect for showing off that playful panda personality. And yes, he’s saying “Hello there” because he’s just that polite.

✂️ Basic Steps

1️⃣ Start with your card base – I used Basic White to let all that black pop like bamboo leaves in the sun. 🌿Layer with a black mat and another white layer.

2️⃣ Layer your DSP – Mix and match your black-and-white patterned papers. (The more dots and grids, the more panda-approved!) 🖤🤍

3️⃣ Add your circle focal point – Die-cut a circle in black and layer it on the left side to anchor your panda and florals.

4️⃣ Stamp and colour your images – Stamp your panda and a couple of pretty blooms. Colour those flowers in soft purples and greens for a fresh contrast. 🎨

5️⃣ Assemble your scene – Pop your panda and flowers on dimensionals (because we love that crafty lift!), then add your sentiment.

6️⃣ Finishing touches – A few sparkly gems or dots for that perfect “bamboo glam” look! ✨

And there you have it — one cheerful panda card ready to brighten someone’s day (or your craft desk, let’s be honest 😅).
