Today is World Rare Disease Day. Are you wearing your Zebra's or Zebra prints to raise awareness for Ehlers Danlos Syndrome? While I was at the mall Saturday I found a really cute and goofy Zebra shirt for my daughter and I to wear today. I hope it will bring a smile to someone's day=) Fingers crossed I remember to take pictures=)
I made this card to "Celebrate" today. I was diagnosed with EDS a year and a half ago and remember the day my Dr. gave me my diagnosis. He said something like, "I'm sorry but I've never seen someone be so happy to be diagnosed before". I won't go into the long story about what happened, but I was happy to know what I was told I had for the 2 previous years was a misdiagnosis=)
Anyhow, my Zebra's are from Viva Las Vegas Stamps. If you are ever in Las Vegas, it is a fun store to visit. I stamped them on Neenah c/s with Momento Ink. I did some shading with my Prismacolor Pencils. I went over the black stripes with a gel pen. I used Prismacolor Pencils for the ground, sponged Versamagic Sea Breeze, Ranger Aqua, and Tim Holtz Faded Jean for the sky, making a moon mask with a 1 1/4 inch cirle punch. I sponged black ink around the edges of the whole card. I used just a small strip of Zebra Print paper since my image was so big...Soft Sky Ribbon and some random buttons to finish off the card.
Thank-you for stopping by. Have a great week!
*ETA: I don't know why I didn't think of this earlier, for my crafting friends...you can help raise awareness by making a Zebra/Zebra Print Card. Since I'm computer challenged, just comment on this post with a link to your card=) Thank-you for your support!
