Black & White

 

Happy Thursday my friends!!

Today's card was inspired by the challenge over at the Alphabet Challenge Blog ... the theme is 'X for X-ray' ... aka  Black & White (ends 4/2) ✓.  I knew I wanted to used Dots & Stripes in the design so now I needed to find a sketch challenge that caught my eye.   That happened when I discovered a sketch challenge I had never participated in before and that is the Creative Sketchy Girls Blog (ends 4/20).  Here's the fun sketch they are offering . . .

 

Now that I have my starting points I needed to decide on my focus image and with the theme being black & white I just had to go with the fun Zebra from a Zoo cutout pack I purchased at Hobby Lobby.

 Selected Product Image          

 The circles behind the zebra are from the Greetery (Crimped Circles) and the grasses are from the Paper Rose 'Grass Bushes' #17367.  The zebra was popped up with dimension tape and Nuvo crystal drops were used for an accent.

    I'm really taken with this card! Love what you did with the sketch, using the grasses for the circle elements, and the papers and zebra are perfect for the B&W theme. Wow!
