Wild About You!

Today was the first time I've been able to play with Stampin' Up!'s new set, Zoofari. I think the images are SO cute! This patterned paper by American Crafts works great for a jungle theme! Today's challenge on SCS is to use ribbon in a creative way. I've seen people run twill through a printer, but my twill just wasn't the right color. So, I tried it out on white grosgrain, and I think it worked pretty well! I just used a word document, typed out what I wanted to say, and printed on regular computer paper. Then I used double sided tape and adhered my grosgrain right on top of the printed words. I put the paper back into my printer and printed again. Easy!

This card is also for today's Challenge on Caardvarks. You can only use ONE stamp for your card. This was a little tricky for me b/c I knew I 'had' to have a sentiment somewhere (without stamping!) -- and that's how the idea came about for the printed ribbon.

The leopard is colored with Watercolor Wonder Crayons and an aquapainter (SU). I used a Sakura stardust pen to add glitter to his spots, whiskers, and nose. I just doodled the border with a SU marker. The white circle was cut using a coluzzle and I used a Marvy Giga Scalloped punch for the black circle. I used a tiny hole punch to add more 'spots' around the scallops.

The top portion of the card was embossed with a Cuttlebug embossing folder. I added a few black brad 'spots' to the lower corner.
