Wild for You

Hello All,
I am writing to throw my hat into Cupcake Inspirations. This a technique that is older than dust! I haven't used in awhile and thought here it may be appropriate. Here is my card for today, enjoy!


I can't find a tutorial for this technique but essentially you mask off areas with some Post-It notes and daub around the edges leaving the middle relatively light. I first stamped the zebra print, twice. why? The stamp was square, I had to line it up in the MISTI and flip the paper and stamp it again. I masked the area that was already stamped so it wouldn't have overlapping patterns. 
The white border really lets the letters pop off a pattern card.
The black banner was done for that purpose too, to stand out in the mist of pattern and color. 
I wanted to create a bit more dimension so I stacked the Altenew Bold Alphabet dies 4 or 5 high on 110lb. CS. I think visual and actual dimension is what makes this card so unique.

Well, that should do it for me!! Thank you so much for stopping by and do appreciate you taking time out of your busy day to spend time with me. We will see you soon. Take care and happy stamping.
