Wild About Zoofari!

Published by Shel9999 at 6:00 am under My Designs, Stampin' Up!

Rhino5I decided not to let the Zoofari’s get too lonely. lol.

This is for the WT challenge at Splitcoast today.  I didn’t do anything new and exciting…I just followed Julia’s tutorial as I’d never done this before and wanted to give it a try.  If I’d had more time, I would have done the scallops again.  I didn’t move the punch over quite far enough in some places.

In deciding which color to use for the background, I found the perfect piece of Linen-stamped/sponged Ruby Red.  I don’t remember why I stamped it and didn’t use it, but it certainly came in handy here.  (I always save unused background-stamped cardstock.  Sometimes it’s just what I need!)

I used a white gel pen for the animals’ pearly whites.  The rhino’s head is popped up on dimensionals and the monkey, hanging by his tediously cut out tail, is secured to the card with a dimensional as well.

Thanks for looking! :)

    LOVE their pearly whites! Gosh, Michele, this is so darn CUTE! I never could have managed that monkey’s tail without ripping it off (and that would have been cruel and unusual). These animals just crack me up! It’s those darn smiles. I think I need this set!

    I love all the creative ideas you come up with for all your cards. RE: Cutting, Is there a particular scissors you use to cut out your paper pieces or do you use an exacto knife? There is no way I can get that close to the lines and cut it out so neatly like your animals in this card or the spiders in the other cards. Would love to know your secret.

    Thanks for sharing!
