Z is for Zero

so no embellishments

I have used an image called Reggie's Swing and I have coloured the image in with Copic.

The image was cut out using a die from SU Circles collection and a die from the Spellbinders Nestabilities Lacey Circles collection.

Here is my card:

 I wanted to have it look like the image was hanging from the dip in the paper.
