Panda Beach Time

August is Hot, Hot, Hot and the Polkadoodles Design Team has so many cute cards on the Challenge Blog to share with you today!  I've selected this adorable Panda in her 'Beach Inflatable Flamingo' for the hot days of summer!  

I sized the Panda to about 3" and added the Sunshine from the Zodiac digital pack.  I printed those on Neenah 110# cardstock and colored them with Copic markers. Then I fussy cut both pieces and set them to the side.

 The background is two papers from the Polkadoodles Starfish & Sandcastles papers.  I trimmed 1" of the blue water paper and secured it to the bottom of the starfish paper.  Then I took another strip of the water paper and cut it using a generic bubble die.  After glueing it over the 'seam' of the two papers, to represent the bubbles in the water's edge, I added the panda and the sunshine.  Both of those pieces are popped up with foam backing.  Lastly I added the Happy Birthday sentiment in the center at the bottom of the card front.

It really turned out cute!  This little Polkadoodles Panda will definitely be catching the rays and chilling by the water through the hot days this summer!
