Awww, Less is More #438 has a baby theme for us this week! I don't get to do too many of these!
I decided I wanted to use my Wildly Happy stamp set - I really don't ink that one up too often, AND, I've never stamped the pandas! Time to fix that! I quickly figured out that it was harder than I though, lol. Pandas, so simple, all black and white, how hard can it be?? Argh! Coloring in the markings too much obscured all their cute features, and the "sketchy" nature of the image. I finally settled on some water painting to add rough color, leaving in some detail with brushstrokes that I hope match the line art a little. I'm still on the fence about how much I like the finished look, lol. I couldn't resist a few silver pearls, too - there's no color!
