Pandas

I created a super-simple layout today:


Materials
Kaisercraft Sakura Park - Kanzan patterned paper
Crayola Red watercolour pencil
Red paper clip
Kaisercraft Silver rhinestones

I was inspired by the March challenge at ARTastic, and this gorgeous artwork:


The challenge theme is ANIMALS, in any way you like.  My eye was immediately drawn to the panda peeking out from the middle of the animal pack.  I love the whimsical style of the painting, and I tried to create a layout where the pandas were the clear focus.

I'm also sharing my layout at Simon Says Wednesday for the Easter Inspired theme.  Panda Easter baskets - the cutest!!

My choice of patterned paper took me down the fussy-cutting route ~ a technique I find very relaxing ~ so I'm also submitting my layout at In the Scrap this month for the fussy-cutting theme.  Here's a detailed shot:
