Today’s tutorial is for a coloured zoo crew birthday card. I picked the flowered pattern of Zoo Crew DSP to colour, to match the flower on the dancing hippo. The video below gives more ideas for colouring the different black & white patterns of DSP. The layout is a slight switch around of the knitting llama card I shared in my Online Workshop.

Just a quick reminder that this Zoo Crew DSP is one of the packs with 15% off this month!

In the tutorial below, I take you step by step through creating the coloured zoo crew birthday card. I also have a supply list for purchasing anything you don’t already own.

Colour Combo

This colour combo mixes Pool Party, Basic Black and Petal Pink.

Coloured zoo crew birthday card

Start with an A6 portrait card of Pool Party. Cut a card front layer of Zoo Crew DSP. Colour the patterned paper (see video) and mat onto Basic Black card before adhering direct to the card front. Cut a panel of Basic Black card and mat onto Pool Party card. Create a label from Basic White card and stamp the greeting and musical notes from the Zany Zoo set onto it with Memento Black ink. Pop the panel up on the card front with dimensionals. Fussy cut out the dancing hippo from the Zoo Crew DSP and pop up on the panel with mini dimensionals.

Here’s a short video with tips for colouring black & white DSP. Please subscribe to my Youtube channel to see my quick cards and quick tips each week.

Coloured zoo crew birthday card insert

On the Basic White insert, using Memento Black ink, stamp another sentiment from the Zany Zoo set. Colour a strip of Zoo Crew DSP with Pool Party ink and adhere to the base of the insert.
