BE WILD Z for Zebra Card

Created this Zebra Card for my weekly challenge I host at Mark's Finest Papers Simple Salutations in which the challenge this wk is Anything Goes with a sentiment. You can click here for more details & enter.

All Kraft cardstock is used. The base is brown Kraft cardstock with Tim Holtz Distress Ink black soot on edge. Next layer is 'in the wild' Kraft cardstock with a Zebra black striping. Top layer is brown Kraft cardstock with MFP Zebras & sentiment stamped on it, white bead with letter 'Z', twine thru the bead, distressed with TH Paper Distresser & TH Distress Ink black soot and ribbon added.

Was a bit difficult to get the twine thru the bead. I used a sewing needle to push the twine thru the bead since twine will not go thru the needle eye.

Looking at this the top layer gives the illusion of it looking like it is  peeking thru the other layers. This is due to the use of the TH Paper Distressing.






















adhesive: glue dots, foam
bead: white bead with letter 'Z' - for Zebra
ink: Memento Tuxedo Black

paper: all Kraft cardstock - 
Kraft cardstock base with TH Distress Ink black soot on edge to make for black paper as base 5 3/4" x 4 1/2", 
in the wild Kraft cardstock Zebra striped Kraft cardstock distressed with TH Paper Distresser and TH Distress Ink black soot - layer 5 1/2" x 4 1/4"

ribbon: ribbon trend Zebra Black
stamp: MFP Be Wild & Free - Zebras & sentiment
Tim Holtz: Distress Ink black soot, Paper Distresser
