The cheerful stamp pad challenge 109 2nd week


The cheerful stamp pad challenge 109 is 'zentangle' and this is the second week. Please click on the link to see the lovely designs of the rest of the team and join in with your entries here.

For my design card for week 2 I added more zentangle to Courtney McAnsh's zetangle elephant (click the link to see the original), kindly supplied by the Sweet Pea Stampers as sponsors of the challenge. The backing paper is some I've had for ages from PDA paper card & craft, on to which I added a cut out of faux black crocodile. The strip across the top is recycled from some craft packaging and the ribbon/bow is Papermania. I thought it was appropriate to add the Belated Birthday Wishes as elephants never forget ... but sometimes we humans do!

  1. I love that you've kept to a striking black and white colour scheme to balance the intricacy of the design, and it gives it a definite masculine feel. Thanks for sharing at Cardz 4 Guyz
