I did it! Let's just say that this was quite the Monday morning challenge. No zebra's were hurt in the making of this card, but I did yell at the cat and the kids went without milk until I could master this. Beate's tutorial is fabulous, I am just not good at following directions sometimes. Anyway, I may try again when I recover from the trauma of this one!

I'm with you, Shel - what a way to start the week's challenges! My brain is frazzled. I love your zebra and oval scallop. You go ahead and do another - I'm resting my brain!

This is sooooo cute!! LMBO at your discription of making this card though!! I am not even attempting this challenge. I looked at the tutorial, which looks great, but just too in depth for me today. Your card is adorable and worth all the frazzle that you encountered!! TFS PS> glad to know that no zebra's were hurt!!! lol.

Great job, Shelly. The zebra was a fun choice for the card. I like your oval-shaped see-through panel. I looked at the tutorial and can see why you're frazzled. From the comments you and some other people have made here and in the Magic card gallery, it's a very intimidating challenge! Maybe I'll be ready by the end of the day to try it--first thing on a Monday morning didn't seem a likely prospect. In any event, your challenge efforts were a grand success!!!

Another brave soul! this is soooooo cute! I too like how you used the ovals . . . always thinking out of the box aren't you? No wonder your brain hurts. I'm still trying to get up the nerve but with your card, Vicky Gould and a few others, I just might give it a try. No promises mind you! Thanks for great ideas and honesty. Great card! Love the zebra and colors. TFS
