I made this card for this week's Teapot Tuesday challenge. Lisa is our hostess and she has picked a wonderful theme of "Bright Cheery" which is perfect for this time of year and for our lovely young recipient who is stuck in a hospital for long periods of time.
This card also fits the Alphabet Challenge for the letter Z for Zebra.
I received this wonderful PFS stamp and die set for Christmas and I have been anxious to ink this up. When I saw a card like this on the Picket Fence website, I knew it was the perfect card for young RaiLynn. I loved the bright colors and the great design. I added a black mat to my card and I sponged color on and used copic markers rather than watercoloring like the inspiration card. I also added a sentiment to the front of the card. This is a double recessed card front and not layered up card circle panels.
I die cut the recessed mats, then drew a circle onto the card base and sponged color into this circle using a makeup brush and distress inks. Colored the zebra with copic markers and die cut her out, then slipped her into the recessed circle. Added a sentiment that is just perfect for RaiLynn and all she is going through and enduring.
I am so impressed and inspired by young people going through rigorous chemo treatments like RaiLynn is. The side effects to strong chemo are hard to take as an adult, let alone as a young person. I wish RaiLynn the very best as she continues her journey.
Thank you Lisa and Ann for the great challenges, and thanks for looking. ~Karen.
