First, the zebra (how CUTE is he, leaping around?!?!) was stamped in Melon Mambo ink, then colored over with a Blender Pen. The pen will pick up the ink from the stamped image and move it around so that it fills in and gets colored. I love that trick for giving something a soft wash of color!
Second, the sentiment is on an elongated Stitched So Sweetly die-cut rectangle. I put the die on my cardstock and then put the top cutting plate on just half of the die. When you zip it through the machine, only the part under the top plate will get cut. Then, I scooted the die over a bit, lining it up with some of the already cut part, and put the top cutting plate on that (uncut) half of the die and cardstock. Run it through the machine again and it cuts out the part under the top plate.
And that's how you can lengthen your die-cut pieces!
Thanks for looking!

That little zebra gets around and around and around. Too bad the rest of us locked down people can't gallop as excitedly about! But he is certainly inspirational.

Great use of these colors! I love the pink Zebra! He is so cute and I keep telling myself that I really don't need those stamps but I'm starting to doubt now!
