This layout is from Saturday's OCC Sketch Challenge hosted by Laurie Schmidlin . I changed it up a bit, using ovals instead of circles, but the basic layout is still there. I just can't follow the rules perfectly!!! lol! You know I'm a cat person! Well, I love the big cats just as much as the small cats. These cool images are from Coronado Island and the artist is Sandra Jordan, you have to go see her amazing art "turned stamps"... links to see her Big Cats Collection are on my blog. Totally amazing detailed images of Big Cats and other Wildlife. I colored Rajah the Tiger with Copics. I roughly airbrushed the background and then went over it with my blender pen to try and make the color not look so even. I used Copics to create the border on the ovals. On the bottom is of course a Martha punch -- cause I can't leave them alone, addicted! I used a White Gel Pen to add some little detail dots. All the Patterned Paper is from Basic Grey's 6x6 "Mellow" Collection. I thought it paired perfectly with the images. A little double bow to finish it off. Card size is an A2.

your color scheme is what caught my eye at first, along with the cat eyes. I love your LO and really just everything about your card is beautiful and even elegant. I favorited and will be using your card as inspiration for my own. THANK YOU!!

Wow. I have a 21 year old daughter who has Cerebral Palsy and she loves Tigers. They were the mascot at her high school. She graduated before we moved from Missouri this past summer, but still likes to wear her shirts that have tigers on them. I am going to show this to her ~ I already know what she'll say.. after a big smiles, she'll be oohhhing and ahhhing over it. Thank you for posting the picture of your card.. off to get my daughter to come see it.
