Just Because

Happy Sunday! I slept super late today and it felt so good. Now I'm going to spend a lazy day in my craft room.  I'd like to enter the card below into the following challenges:

Let's Craft & Create #218 - Anything Goes/Optional Add Flowers

Dragonfly Dreams - Animals

Passion for Markers #782 - Anything But Birthday

AllSorts #820 - Anything Goes/Optional Spring Flowers

Just Us Girls Week #769 - Die Cuts/No Flowers




I created my background by blending Distress Oxide Ink through my Broken Lines stencil from A Colorful Life Designs (April release) on watercolor paper, which totally reminded me of bamboo the minute I saw it. You can use code JennFan10 for 10% off at the A Colorful Life Designs shop.  I then used several shades of green Distress Oxide inks blended on another piece of watercolor paper, spritzed with water and let dry before die-cutting the leaves. Panda is a digi from Lili of the Valley, colored with Copics and fussy cut, then attached with foam dimensional tape. I sponged some green ink around the top & bottom edges of the card, and finished off with a "just because" text sticker from a Tim Holtz sticker book. Peace.
