S loves pandas and for her last birthday, my DDIL cut bunches of them from Create a Critter and hid them throughout the house. The party guests had to find them all, count them (without moving any of them) and report the total to my DDIL. What a fun game! Lots of running about and squealing! LOL!
Back to the card. I searched and searched my stash for a newspaper print that was black and white rather than antiquey looking yellow - nothing! Instead I had to go for a chalkboard look and I achieved this by inking inside my Cuttlebug Script embossing folder with black ink, adding white textured cardstock and rolling it through the Big Shot. Very cool!
The panda comes from Animal Antics and the heart from Create a Critter. The flowers are from Art Philosophy and I added three little red gems to the banner so that I could link my card with the Valentine Challenge at Exploring Cricut.
I am also linking with the FCCB # 197 "I Heart you!" challenge here!
I'm not quite Valentine'd out, one more card to share later this week. Thanks for visiting with me today! Christine : )

Thank you, Melissa for your sweet comments! They are much appreciated. Animal Antics was one of the Cricut Circle carts last year and it features cute sayings and animals. (Like a camel with "Hump Day") My panda is actually pushing a vacuum cleaner and the phrase that goes with it is "Suck it up!" I like my version better! : ) Christine
