Animal card

Tonight I was inspired to make this animal card


The background is made from a single piece of black paper randomly ripped to create a camouflage style effect



A few animal type sentiments complete the look


I also used some fluffy hairy wool to make a rustic style sign for the "have a wild one" sentiment and a black brad to symbolise a nail holding up the sign

I used a single zebra stamp and the masking technique to replicate the zebra twice to make the little herd

The zebra are coloured with promarker in cool grey 5

I grounded the zebra by using a different promarker cool grey 1 to give the illusion of them walking in the bush velt



The border is simply a piece of ribbon from my stash which I thought mirrored the style and colour of the card

flower embelishments

tonight we learnt how to make paper flowers.. the first one on the left is made using a five petal flower shape cut out several times and stacked on top of each other and secured with pin flair glue

these two flowers were made using a petal punch each punched flower was made to look more dimensional by folding and rolling the petal edges with the edge of an embossing tool to make them bend easily, as flower 3 had a more open design a used a small pearl bead to decorate the centre for a different look tot he closed inwards version


the smallest crinkled effect flower was made by scrunching paper petals together and securing with a brad
