Oriental Sketch 69 Pandas






The first sight of this sketch I knew I wanted to do two Panda bears  I have the Panda stamp set so what is the problem 
The problem is I want the second bear to be small and I don't have a small panda MFP stamp 
I look through everything I have and spotted the Chinese Take out 
I didn't want a half a bear but he is the right size
I decided to cut him out and a second set of arms which I arranged to create a whole baby Panda
bear
 Clever right? The bamboo is a punch 
Come PLAY

This is a very interesting technique  the image from stamp set MFP 'LUCKY YOU "
is stamped on card stock and  a rectangle is cut around it leaving a portion to be cut in shape ( head)
Then adhered on the background and squiggled around the whole   maybe that makes some sense but you can find it in tutorials  "Center Block"
