A Zebra Hello

Hi everyone I finally feel like I am getting close to being back on track.  For those of you that don't know, I have been feeling very lousy lately one of the things they think I have (and I think so also) is shingles, YUCK.  One of the things I think have helped a bit is the nerve medicine I take anyway and since shingles is a nerve problem I believe that medicine is helping.  They are starting to fade.  They are also doing other tests as I become tired very fast.
Well enough of that, I did finally get to make a card over the last 3 or so days, besides doctor appointments, other things to take care of and getting so tired I had to take a nap it is a big deal that I finally got a card done
This was made following a sketch on the Cricut message board and also a color challenge of using Black, Red, Gray and White.
The Zebra is ribbon, and the "hello" is a stamp.  I cut the white swirls from the Cindy Loo cartridge and sprayed it with Glimmer Mist to give it some sparkle.  There is a lot of sparkle on this card but does not show up well in the picture.  Also hard to see but the red half I embossed using my Martha Stewart score board in a diamond pattern.
You can see that pattern better in this picture, I added a few Sakrua gen pen sparkle dots to the white.  The hello I rounded the corners and distressed the edges.
The buckle I cut using Fabulous Finds.
I cut it 5 times and glued them all together.  Then I put Diamond Glaze on it rather thick.  After it dried using my i-Rock I added some bling.  I hope you enjoy my card.
Thanks for taking the time to leave me a comment. I love to read them, besides that way I knew you were here to take a peak.
