I made this card for the last Ways To Use It challenge of the year. I am this week's hostess and have a fun challenge for you! I can't wait to see what you do with it.
For my card, I stamped my zebra and then water colored a background behind him. Next I colored in his stripes and die cut the top layer. I matted it and then created the matted zebra print layer beneath my focal image. I wrapped some taffeta ribbon and twine around the zebra print layer. Finally, I embossed my base layer and mounted the rest of the layers on top.
Thanks for looking!

I always thought that was such a cute zebra (I always have to think of American pronunciation in my head, because to us, Z is Zed and Zebra is like Deborah, whereas I think for you it's Zee and Zeebra?). I love the combination of the taffeta and twine. And your vine ef is fab. Thanks for such a clever and fun challenge this week, Toni.

I love the simplicity of your zebra image which has the feeling of a child-like drawing. The bg DP in the stripe pattern and scalloped framing all go to create a charming card, Toni.

Absolutely adorable zebra and love the layers and textures you added. The water colored BG is very soft and allows him to take the stage on your card Toni.
