Inspire. Create. Challenges #009 - Love

Hello!
I'm here with another post for Inspire. Create. Challenges and we are at week #009 already! The theme this week is "Love" 
A nice broad theme with plenty of choices for entering. We would love it if you would join in with this challenge, sharing your makes. You can see what the rest of the fabulous DT has made HERE if you fancy some top notch inspiration!
So, I have had the New "Party Pandas" (FREE Sale-a-Bration) stamps for quite a while and this is the first chance I've had to play with them and I couldn't resist giving this adorable little panda a heart to hold...
I die cut the smallest heart from the Sweet and Sassy framelits dies, stamped the sentiment, also from the Party Pandas set,  and used a marker to edge it (TIP HERE). I then used a craft knife to cut around the pandas paws so I could slip the heart over the envelope he usually holds.
I also used to my Stampin' Blends to add shadow behind the heart and add a little blush on his cheeks, let's call that 'artistic license' shall we? ;-)
TIP: I cut the left hand arm (as you look at it) a little further back than it is designed to be (trim a little at a time) so the heart could be slipped down far enough.
TIP 2: Only add glue to the centre band of the heart so the top and bottom still pop out a little.
I stamped the background around the panda using the tiny hearts from the "Heart Happiness" stamp set and the larger, striped heart is from the same set.
Finished with a pink Tinsel Trim (!!!) bow, soooo fun!
And of course the Pandas are a FREE Sale-a-Bration stamp set!! Whoop! So, you can choose this set when you spend over £45 in my SHOP :-)
Let me know if you have any questions and we all hope you join in with this fortnights Inspire. Create. Challenge :-)
