A Zebra and a Pachyderm

I have a few creations to share tonight.

First up is a creation for Color Throwdown combined with the My Favorite Things Sketch.  

Here is my card . . .

 I used pattern papers that had embossing on them.  I also stamped my banner on that blue striped pattern paper so it would blend in.  The zebra was the perfect image for a little black and white. 

 

Next up is a card for Heart 2 Heart's first challenge of this month which was "Birthday Bash."  For this card I used some new supplies that I had recently received from Close To My Heart.  Love how this card turned out.  

I cut strips of the pattern paper and alternated them side by side leaving a tiny bit of white background showing.  I then embossed the star background and made a trio of tags for my little forgetful  pachyderm.

Loving this new paper pack.
