Party Pals (for Avery Elle)

Hi there!

I'm here and on the Avery Elle blog this morning with a different take on those cute pandas from Party Pals:

The lines around the eyes are meant to be colored in so that he looks like a panda, but I added some lines using a copic-friendly pen and voila! glasses. After everything was colored, I added glossy accents to those glasses, which is so fun in real life.

Since it was already going a quirky route, I also added a few extra lines to give the bears some sweaters. I know that some of you are experiencing springtime weather, but it just snowed the other day in Montreal. The bears looked cold.

I gave them balloons to hold (from Toucan Party) and set them against a bright yellow background. To make that bright yellow really pop, but also not be super overwhelming, I confined it to the inside of the circle (from the Horizontal Stripes Ellements.) 

I opted to not stamp a greeting, but cut the word celebrate (from Sentimental Ellements) in a fun mint color. 

I hope you like it! Thanks for stopping by!

Hi there, and welcome to Avery Elle's Spring release blog hop!

I'm so excited to be able to show off the Toucan Party stamp set:

Isn't it so fun? I love all of the birds as well as the floral/leafy elements. It's such a well-designed set! I colored the birds in quirky colors and set them up against a pink chevron background.




I drew in some dots with a white gel pen and framed out the focal image strip by adding white cardstock to the top and bottom. The leaf/floral images added some drama, and I stamped the greeting in a dark grey ink at the bottom.

I hope you like it!
