Zany Celebration - Stampin' Up! Zany Zoo

   I couldn't pass up the Zany Zoo bundle on the demonstrator pre-order for the new annual catalog and I finally had time to get some ink on at least a few of the stamps to participate in 2 great challenges.  My layout is from Global Design Project and the colors are from Color Throwdown.

    I started with a Coastal Cabana base then I used a piece of the Zoo Crew DSP in one of the reverse black and white patterns.  

  I cut out 9 balloon in the challenge colors and adhered them in a grid on a Stitched Rectangle backed with Basic Black.  The panel is popped on dimensionals over a piece of retired Soft Sea Foam seam binding ribbon.

   The adorable raccoon is stamped in Memento black and colored with Blends markers (colors listed below).  Using the coordinating Zany Zoo dies I cut him out and popped him up to the side of the balloons and then added the sentiment to the other side to follow the sketch.

  The Zany Zoo bundle is sure to be a customer favorite once it is available on May 2!  Don't forget to add it to your wish list.

  Thanks for looking!  Did you stamp today?
