I've had this sleeping tiger stamp in my stash for years and embarassingly this is the first time he's seen ink! I meant to make this a genuine one layer card but I messed up the tiger and ended up fussy cutting an extra and adding him over the top. I was quite pleased with the effect in the end - I decided to use smooth card and Copics and I like the contrast between the watercolour background and the more graphic cat.
Janine's challenge for Dare to Get Dirty is one I reckon just about everybody can play.

WOWZA...this is AMAZING!! The colors are beautifully blended and the shadows are perfect. I can't believe this is the first time you've used that tiger...you need to use him again!!
