Conie Fong: Pandas Are Awesome And So Are You!

This month I've been having fun showcasing the different pandas in Conie Fong's Panda Bundle. All of the pandas in this bundle are adorable! I printed this image on Xpress It Blending Card and colored it with Copic Markers. And yes, my brain was not braining and I colored his head black....so he's a little different, LOL!

I used Blue China Distress Oxide Ink for the sky, and added grass to the bottom of the card using Copic Markers. The sentiment is from Jaded Blossom's Pandas Are Awesome Stamp Set.

I hope you grab some images from Conie Fong and share your creations in the Conie Fong Art and Design Facebook Group. Conie also created a YouTube Channel called DRAW WITH CONIE to walk you step-by-step on how to draw various images. If you happen to give drawing a try, we would love for you to join the Draw With Conie Facebook Group so we can Ooooh and Aaaaah over your work!

For my card today, I used an adorable digital image from Conie Fong's Panda Bundle. There are 6 different panda images and the file comes with JPEG and PNG versions of each image for a total of 12 images. It's an awesome bundle! I printed the image on Copic Xpress It Blending Card and colored it with Copic Markers. The edges were inked with Distress Oxide Ink.

 

I dry embossed the background with a polka dot embossing folder. I cut the image into a circle and then framed it with a black scallop circle (dies are from Jaded Blossom). Then I kicked it up a notch by adding gorgeous flowers from I Am Roses. Did you know that I Am Roses carries flowers in black?! They are perfect for Bee cards, Halloween cards, and Panda cards. The large white flower is the R43 Peony, followed by black cherry blossoms, small white achillea cottage flowers, and tiny leaves. The sentiment is from Jaded Blossom's Pandas Are Awesome Stamp Set.

I Am Roses + Conie Fong's Panda Bundle

Happy Thursday friends! Today, I'm showcasing a card for I Am Roses featuring this adorable panda munching on bamboo leaves from Conie Fong's Panda Bundle. All of the pandas in this bundle are adorable! I printed the image on Xpress It Blending Card and coloring it with Copic Markers.

To finish off the card, I added gorgeous flowers from I Am Roses. I love that IAR has so many available colors to match any color scheme. I wanted black and white to go with my panda. The large flowers are R43 White Peonies, followed by black cherry blossoms, white achillea cottage flowers, mini black roses, and tiny green leaves.
