A Ginger Snap! PPA 257 Challenge!

It's time for another PPA Sketch Challenge.

And here is the sketch from the talented Nicole Watt that inspired my creation.

Although it is a simple card – my favorite type!, I think it has some nice dimension & texture.

GINGER'S TIPS

cardbase - Tip Top Taupe 5-1/2 x 8-1/2 (perfect for my jungle theme)

Basic Black C.S. – 5-1/4 x 4

Go Wild Designer Series paper Stack – 4-3/4 x 3-1/2 (dotted paper)

4-14 x 1 (arrows paper)

Tip Top Taupe C.S. - 2" Circle punch, embossed with the Zig Zag Textured Impressions Embossing Folder

Whisper White C.S. – stamped the giraffe found in Zoo Babies with Tuxedo Memento Black Ink & punched with the 1-3/8 Circle Punch

"Celebrate" from the Expressions Natural Elements adds some nice texture and ramps up the fun. And the wood texture coordinates with the jungle theme.

Three Black Candy Dots from the Neutrals Candy Dot pack provide balance for my card. I know that I love Candy Dots. How about you? Are they a go to element for your cards?

I had to laugh – I was thinking donkey and I thought why in the world is there a donkey – are we thinking politics then why not red, white and blue. Then, it hit me – it’s a zebra! Fits the theme and colors now! Love the comment on the celebrate ramps! Love the candy dots! I used all my black ones so I have been using a black Sharpie marker to make some of the other colors I never use into black ones or a pearl colored black. The EF is perfect to go with the DP the Celebrate is on. I usually associate stripes with a zebra so the polka dots are just a really great touch! So fun and unusual! Love it!

Love the monochromatic look of this card – but of course a zebra is kind of monochromatic! LOL The biggest challenge for me was how to incorporate the horizontal stripe! Beautifully done, Ginger!
