Hello there! I recently purchased “Zoo Crew” from Paper Smooches and I just love that little zebra. He was the first one I wanted to ink up from this set. But last minute I added the cute giraffe so he’d have a friend.
I created this for the Paper Smooches Picture Perfect challenge and originally I stenciled the background in multi-colors, but it just didn’t seem right for this card! So I saved the first colorful stenciled piece (you’ll see it soon!) and I started over using only black/white.
I think that’s much better for this zebra. I found that glitter tape at JoAnn’s when I was there wasting time waiting for an airplane to land so I could pick up my parents. They were 30 minutes behind schedule, so what better way to wait around then visit JoAnn’s?! So that wild glitter tape came home with me and found it’s way onto this card. Ha!
Here’s the picture challenge:
See how their challenge picture is all colorful? Well, I changed it up, but still used the same elements and basic idea. What do you think? Don’t you LOVE that little zebra?
The “Wild for you” sentiment did not come easy! I used the “for you” from a sentiment in Falling for You set. And the “wi” from the (wish you were here) sentiment in the Fanciful Fall set. Then I added an “L” from the Santa Paws set and the “D” from the same set, but different sentiment. Whew! Sometimes you gotta take matters into your own hands, you know what I mean?
Supplies Used:
Stamps: Paper Smooches Zoo Crew, Santa Paws, Falling For You, Fanciful Fall
Stencil: Tim Holtz Burlap
Distress ink: Black soot
Pencils: Derwent Inktense watercolor pencils
Other: jute string from my stash, heart gem from my stash, safari glitter tape
May your days be filled with sunshine, 
Kari, this is so fun and I LOVE how you were able to piece together the sentiment from other sets, you clever girl! Sometimes a girls gotta do what a girls gotta do, right? Thank you so much for sharing your talent with this week’s Paper Smooches SPARKS challenge!
