I'm taking a journey on the wild side by making several cards featuring wild animals. I've selected a simple template so that the animals are the focal point of each card. My first card features a running zebra.
CARD (5.5” wide x 4.25” tall)
Front Image: Running Zebra
Front Sentiment: none
Inside Sentiment: none
I created the base card from deep red cardstock and layered it with a zebra print paper and black cardstock.
For the focal point of the card I stamped a running zebra on white cardstock and added subtle color to the animal to create depth. I sponged a combination of colors around the zebra reflecting the overall card color scheme. Upon completion I matted the zebra image with deep red and black cardstocks and popped it from the surface of the card for added dimension.
I elected to leave the inside blank, however, I did decorate the white cardstock with a band of the zebra print and matted the panel on black cardstock.
I also created a coordinating envelope from heavy white cover stock and affixed a band of the zebra print along the left edge.
