ChristineCreations: A Zoo-per Day

I realized as I was going through all my cards that I am lacking in boy cards. With two sons that are often last minute-ing me "Mom I need a birthday card....", I see that I have to beef up my boy-stash a little. How about this cute one with TSG goodies...

This set Zoo-Pendous is SO fun and whimsical. It works perfect for boy or masculine designs. I had fun putting together a little "African Savannah scene at the Zoo" for the design. I just received my order of new Spellbinders dies today and one of them was this A2 Curved Borders One. I love the curvy design so I designed the card around that curved-edge as a cut out, and using the cut away part popped up for the sentiment. The black borders are part of the TSG Challenge for this week. I love the sharpness is gives to the design.

On the back layer of the card I added a thin embossed leafy section for fun.

Do you see the cute little puffy white clouds? I colored them in with a Ranger Picket Fence Distress Marker. It's SO perfect on the Kraft! Hee hee, his bugged out eyes crack me up!
