While this set has some really great panda images, I chose to go my familiar clean and simple route.  I stamped the circular bamboo image in one corner of a piece of rectangular card stock.  I masked a sentiment to read only part of the original and stamped it in the opposite corner.  I colored my bamboo and drew in a thin black line with a Copic Multiliner.  I added a few mats and popped the whole thing off the card base. 

 

Clean and simple, quick and easy!  Thanks for stopping by today!
