This is my sample for the TLC challenge this week which you can find HERE. You may notice from the photos in the challenge thread that I created several backgrounds - you'll be seeing a couple more in my gallery over the next week or two .
This one is the paint sample, using blue acrylic. I stamped the crocodile from In the Wild onto a piece of white card, masked him and then stamped the woodgrain stamp in Iced Spruce DOX. Plain A had been to colour the croc, but DH and I both thought he looked best left plain like this, so I simply added black borders with a marker and stamped a birthday sentiment.

The bubble framework has the appearance of alligator hide! Genius way to use the woodgrain stamp as the rippling water for your alligator! Great design Sabrina!

Love the blue and black. This technique is a great way to put to use those bubble mailing envelopes that are piled up! Thanks for the inspiration.
