Zebra Card

Welcome to Friday! It's SPRING! And here I am bringing you a black card... :D

I made this card just to make one to show you! Aren't you flattered? :D I got a couple of new stamp sets, and I'm in love with this animal one. Why didn't I get it earlier?!?! It's been marked in my IBC to get for the whole year. Of course, now that I've finally purchased it, it will probably retire... :D

Speaking of which: we're getting closer to the new Idea Book Release in June! Be watching for the retirement lists (sooner than I wish them to be coming! :D )

Now, then. This stamp is from ZOO REVIEW; it's available in wood or clear-mount. To do my background, I just put wide rubber bands around my brayer, and rolled some white craft ink onto that Basic Black card stock. The zebra is embossed in black, and that's a layer of Bermuda Bay right underneath him. :) (Just so you know, I took a piece of Whisper White card stock for the inside, and ran those rubber bands through some Basic Black ink and did about 1.75" of a border down the right side of the inside card.)

OK, I'm outta here! Have a wonderful weekend! Be sure to stamp something! :)

My next favorite card....

Good Tuesday Morning! I hope you're having a great week! :) Lines, costumes, and lines are on MY mind this week. Phew. :D I can't wait to do the show, tho - it's VERY demanding physically, and I've got a pretty big part. Come see me as the evil stepmother! :D I perform this weekend; next weekend, the part will be done by the incredible Paula Fox. Tickets are available - you can call the church at 615.444.0776 for information - for Thursdays ($9, show only), Fridays ($20, dinner and show), Saturdays and Sundays ($12, dessert and show). I would SOOOOOOOO love to see you there! :D

OK. Here's the card!

More VERY THANKFUL cards! :)

It was really a great class. I hope you enjoy these samples! :)


Card stock: YoYo Yellow, Real Red, Only Orange, Tempting Turquoise, Whisper White

Ink: Jet Black Stazon

Stamp set: VERY THANKFUL

Accessories: Big Shot (Yup, you KNOW it: I LOVE MY BIG SHOT!!!), scallop circle die, 1-3/4" circle punch, assorted Stampin' Write markers

I just love this little guy. How can you not smile when you see him?? :)





If this looks a little familiar, it's because I posted one very similar done with the snakeskin technique from TECHNIQUE JUNKIES in the last two weeks. :)

Card stock: Taken with Teal, Basic Black, Glossy White, Whisper White

Ink: Taken with Teal, Versamark

Stamp set: VERY THANKFUL

Accessories: brayer, Taken with Teal Stampin' Write marker, ticket corner punch, dimensionals

This has a beautiful look to it, due to the glossy cardstock. The Whisper White is actually on the inside; both the brayered piece and the stamped piece here are Glossy. It is temperamental to work with, but such a gorgeous outcome! :)
