So, we have wonderful sketch challenge this week on Create with Connie and Mary!

 

 

And I went with the theme of PARTY with the PARTY PANDAS stamp set and used the Picture Perfect Party Designer Paper with it!  LOVE that confetti photo paper!

 

 

Stampin’ Details:

• The base is 5-1/2 x 8-1/2 Thick Whisper White cardstock, scored at 4-1/4 and folded.
• On top is a 4 x 5-1/4 layer of Bermuda Bay cardstock.
• Two strips of Myths and Magic Glimmer Paper sized 3/4 x 4 and 1/4 x 4 were added to the sides of the 3 x 4 piece of confetti paper in the Picture Perfect Party Designer Paper pack and adhered on top of the Bermuda Bay cardstock.
• A 1 x 2-3/4 piece of Lemon Lime Twist cardstock was added to the front with a 1/8 x 3-1/2 strip of Basic Black cardstock on top.
• The panda and party hat from Panda Party was stamped with Memento Black Ink on scrap Whisper White and hand-cut.  The hat was colored with Lemon Lime Twist, Bermuda Bay and Berry Burst Stampin’ Write Markers.
• Love You from Panda Party was stamped with Memento Black on the Lemon Lime Twist piece.
