For my Panda card I decided to make his head wiggle. I made a spring, using a circle punch and a wire wrapped around the handle of a paint brush. The background was done doing faux silk technique. I used MFP set called Be Virtuous ,  I stamped the bamboo and the sentiments with black stazon onto white tissue paper. I then ink spray smashed the tissue paper. I placed it over a page from my encyclopedia. I used a page about the Metropolitan Opera. I think it makes a great background for my Panda.

    Fabulous! I thought when I first looked at your card that the background was canvas but after reading it's faux silk technique!!! I really need to try this technique again.

    Gorgeousness....love that background. I love that you take the extra step and I need to remember to try and do that....I will have to say to myself, "think like MariLynn!" I looked all over for an Asian coin without luck.

    Like that your Panda has wiggle action. Like the background; especially w/ the stitching. Pandas are one of my fav wild animals.
