I saw zebra stripes! This zebra looks a little more like Eyor than a real zebra, but I thought he was cute. He's embossed in black then layered over a sponged wood veneer, layered over a woodgrain I salvaged from a recycled poster. The top panel is embossed in PSE Ochre Tapestry and atop that is some embossed chipboard.
It never hurts to have a few masculine cards around ... I'm fresh out of them.
Hope you like it and thanks for looking!

I looked at your inspiration item and I clearly saw a zebra! I love this card - it has so much texture and interest in it. It is a great guy card - I need more of them too! Super job.

A nutcase? Well, maybe just a little! Did you look at my inspiration pieces for today? Now, I'm really the nutcase here. I am really likin' this one, girl. I think the zebra is outstanding and all the woodgrain panels are over the top. Totally terrific. So, let us, what exactly has happened to all your masculine cards? Dont you just love all my questions?

I see the source of your inspiration - cool secateurs, I'd love those myself. And a very nice card indeed. He doesn't make me think at all of Eeyore, more of a stylised soapstone carving, but totally 100% African with that woodgrain and the little border at the top. Love this!!

Amazing IC card Miss M! What a great man card this is. I love your zebra. Love your wood bg. Love your embellishment on top. When I looked at what inspired you and what you had done, for a split moment I thought maybe you too had gone blonde! LOL .....just kidding. This is fantastic. Wish I was a man so you could send it to me! lol I love it! TFS :0)
