Wishing You a Wild & Crazy Day

Happy Saturday!!

I've been trying to get time in my craft room all week in order to CASE 
 this card that Nichole Heady made for the June Papertrey Ink stamp release. 
I knew that I was going to order the Mehndi Medallion set, but I HAD to
add the sweet It's a Jungle Out There  set and die once I saw her card. 
A few weeks ago Nichole also posted a Make it Monday video showcasing
the technique used to create the framed image. (Polaroid 2-Step Masking).

Off to my craft room I went, determined to make a similar card. 

My first attempt just didn't seem quite right, so after checking Nichole's
post, I made a second card that actually did look like the original.

Note to self:   

When you want to CASE a card, it might be a good idea to review the post before starting !!

Here's my first attempt, with a green ribbon and little black rhinestone accents. I mounted the stamped medallion panel onto a black card base. 
(I realized after watching the video again, that Nichole used a ribbon accent and a black card base for the video example. I guess I must have been thinking of that when I created this.)
 

Here's my second attempt. I stamped the Medallion images directly onto the Kraft card base before adding the zebra framed panel. Just like Nichole's!! 

I added the sentiment, from It's a Jungle Out There. I think it will be a fun anniversary card for my brother and sister-in-law;  they are a very adventurous duo!! I can use the second one for a birthday card by adding an appropriate sentiment on the inside.

 

Now I can't decide which one I like the most!! What do you think?
