World Rare Disease Day...

Today is World Rare Disease Day!  I have a rare genetic connective tissue disorder called Ehlers Danlos Syndrome.  Every year for the last 11 years I've been raising awareness about my condition by posting about it on this day on Facebook.  This year I thought I'd do something a little different since I now know two other people with my condition.  I wanted to make my two fellow Zebra's, Kirsten and Amy (all the way across the pond in Wales) a card to wish them a "Happy" and Pain-Free World Rare Disease Day. 

When My Favorite Things came out with the Zippy Zebras stamp set I knew I had to have it!!!  I started out sponging Stampin' Ups Basic Gray ink with the Small Brick Wall stencil from MFT on Neenah.  I stamped my Zebra image with memento ink on Neenah then used the coordinating die-namics to die cut it.  I used Copics to color it and pop dots to mount my image.  Next I used the Twice the Hugs die-namics in Real Red, highlighting it with a white gel pen.  I mounted my layer on a black card base.   

Wishing all the Zebra's out there a Pain-Free World Rare Disease Day!
