DD9ABC12L: I'm still playing catch up - almost there! This entry is for the letter L: Lemon Lime Twist and Lovely Lilac.
TLC686: hand drawn banners. I wanted to do this when the challenge came up but didn't have a chance. Thank you for this challenge, I like how my hand drawn banner turned out.
You have probably seen some of the Impossible cards out there and I wanted to make one. Then I saw this tutorial for a triple twist impossible card and thought the party pandas would be fun on a card like that. Here is the link: https://mixedupcraft.com/2018/04/16/...possible-card/
It almost was an impossible card for me! But I managed to figure it out without my husband's help. Once I got the white card base made, then it was on to the fun of decorating and creating the pandas. I did cut down the white pieces that the pandas are attached to but that is the only modification I made to the white card base. For stability, I did attach it to a piece of black cs. I added stamped and punched leaves behind each of the pandas.
My balloon ended up having stripes because when I was edging the cut line with black marker, it slipped onto the front of the balloon. Voila, striped balloon!
Then on to the fun of a hand drawn banner - something I probably wouldn't have done without a push from the TLC challenge a few weeks back. I stamped my sentiment first, I had already decided what kind of banner I wanted to draw so stamped accordingly. Then I used an aqua painter to add some Lovely Lilac highlights to the banner.
This was a fun card to make, I hope you like it.

Your pandas are so adorable! I think the leaves in the background are perfect for these guys. You are so talented to draw your own banner. It is perfect. Love the colors too! TFS!
