This is a stamp that I won from the Repeat Impression challenge and when I picked out the image I didn't have any idea what I was going to do with it - but liked it. I like how the card turned out but really wish that I had embossed the black "frame" around the zebra. But this is normal for me - just about every time I get a card done, I see things that I wish I'd done differently. Maybe we're all like that though.
The sentiment is from CTMH and I used the Square Lattice embossing folder from SU on this. The coin was in a box of buttons and goodies that a friend gave me that had belonged to her mother. It was full of coins of all type and some very unique buttons. She was a world traveler and picked up bits and pieces of all sorts of things in her travels.
I'll enter this in the ABC Challenge (Zoo) and Die Cut Dreams #94 Challenge (Animal Antics - animals with four legs).
Thanks for stopping by..............Have a wonderful weekend.

Love the card and the red, black and white! I am with you on wanting to change something after I finish the card, always happens. That coin is amazing and such a great touch. Have a great weekend and stay cool, supposed to be 106 up here next week, really getting a tired would love to have one day in the 90's with rain.

ReplyDeleteI find myself looking at my finished cards wishing I did something different - but not to every one....just some!
Either way -I think it looks terrific!!

Great card Lynn, and I love how you framed that zebra within a frame of zebra stripes! Genius!! Oh, and thanks for the reminder of this song..........now I'll have it in my head all weekend :)
ReplyDeleteIt's a great color combo Lynn and yep we all do that thing where we think of something we could of done after the fact! I always try to just say well, on my next card I'll incorporate that. This is a striking image and I wouldn't have known what to do with it but, you really made it work.
ReplyDeleteWhat a great card you created with this. Love it!!:)
ReplyDeleteFantastic card Lynn! I love the color combo and the coin is a perfect embellishment! Enjoy the rest of your weekend!!

Thank you for popping by my blog. I just love using Copics on Cryogen - love the subtle 'sparkle' of the cardstock.
ReplyDeleteWhat a PERFECT use of twine. And what a good friend - to give you a box of treasures!
Thank you again my blogging buddy!
This is great! Love the zebra frame! THanks for playing at ABC!
ReplyDeleteso awesome, luv the zebra image...hope your day is fantastic!

Lynn, this is very exotic with all the black and white. I really like the zebra striped frame and of course the zebra himself, or maybe it a herself.
ReplyDeleteLove this fabulous zebra design!! Awesome card, Lynn!
ReplyDeleteWhat a fun card, Lynn! Love that litte coin accent. I bet there are all kins of fun treasures in that box from your friend. How sweet of her to pass it on to you. :)
ReplyDeleteLynn, I love this. I also love that you didn't emboss the frame, I think it would have detracted from the zebra. Love the baker's twine and the button - the perfect touch.

Love this! The frame is perfect 'as is' so you can stop worrying! How fun to receive a box of treasure to play with too!
ReplyDeleteI like how you used zebra paper to mat around the image as it really makes the zebra pop. I think red, white and black are perfect for this. No wonder you were picked for the top 5 at The ABC Challenge. Congrats!
ReplyDeleteHope you will come play in this weeks challenge "A is for Auburn"
Lynn, Don't know if you saw it yet but you took a spot in the Top 5 at ABC Challenge with this one! Hooray! Congrats!
