Get ready for it…a Zoofari explosion, that is! I love this set! I’m on a mission to make a card with each stamp in the set. (I have to say though that I’m having a hard time with the birds…I can’t get Beate’s description of them out of my brain. That is SO funny! **edited in: Thanks for the link, Peggy, to JanTink’s blog about the animals. OMGosh! Now the snake! LOL. I’m going to have so much fun with this set. LOL.) Ahem…(lol)…
I used Chocolate for the base and, yes, more Tres Jolie patterned paper. The guava-ish paper is the reverse side of the dotted print. I rolled Groovy Guava ink with SU’s new See You Around wheel for the background, attached a strip of the dotted patterned paper and faux stitched along the two edges.
I stamped the cat with black ink, cut it out and colored in the dots with a white gel pen. I stamped the cat again, cut off the head and mounted it on a dimensional over the “base” cat. (It doesn’t show in the photo, but it’s cute with a popped up head!) I tied a scrap of dotted ribbon on it’s tail and adhered it to a panel of vanilla cardstock. After using a Stamp-a-ma-jig to position the sentiment, I matted the piece onto Chocolate cardstock and adhered it to the card.
Lastly, I placed the two snaps (using my Crop-a-dile) and adhered the assembled panel to the card. I wanted to add more of something somewhere, but decided in the end to keep it simple. (I struggle with that.)
Thanks for stopping by!! Have a great day! 🙂
