New Exclusive Quickutz Dies

Hi! I know I can't say good morning because I'm running late today, sorry about that! I just wanted to get this card finished because I've had it in my head since Thursday night. The weather here has been yucky so I've been fighting a horrible headache and haven't been sleeping well so instead I've been designing cards in my mind for products I don't even have yet.......what is that about??? This Quickutz Zebra is one of the new exclusive to Archiver's 4X4 dies. There are about 15 new exclusive dies so hopefully I will be sharing some of them with you. I LOVE this zebra and my daughter, Sara, loves zebras right now, so it was perfect. Then I have this sentiment from StampingBella that I LOVE. One of the things I'm always telling Sara is to be true to herself. One of my favorite quotes that I wrote in a little book that I have with her is "Be like a turtle, at home in your own shell." This card expresses that for me.

I started with a white card base but then covered it with BoBunny Licorice Dot paper. I cut the zebra from Black Tie Bazzill Bling and Pomegranate metallic shimmer paper from Paper Company, I pop-dotted his nose onto his face :) Then I pop-dotted his whole body onto Tiara Bazzill Bling and mounted that on Doodlebug Sugar coated bubblegum paper. I stamped "dare to be different" in versamagic cloud white and added a basic grey rub on in the corner. I tied ribbon (don't know the manufacturer, sorry) and added hero arts gems to the top corner of the image. Lots of bling on this one :)

I know today is supposed to be Scrapbook Saturday and I do have a half finished layout of Ben that I'm working on, but this zebra was just calling my name :)

Thanks so much for stopping by and have a wonderful Saturday!
