An old Stamps Happen stamp which I believe was part of an African animal series. Watercolored the image. Since we have a Sunbeam Tiger car, I have occasions to send fellow club members cards with a tiger theme.
I border most cards with a thin back panel of a color which is found in the main image(or thin gold line, another favorite). I think of it as matting a picture.

Outstanding! Our DD loves tigers; she would over the moon for this card. Beautiful coloring. Love the sentiment, too. So true. Terrific way to border this one. Sometimes simple adds just the right touch, as you said, it is like matting a picture. Well done!

That cat is STUNNING. I immediately went off on a Google search. No luck yet, but I will keep trying. Your watercoloring makes this look like a piece of art. Magnificent!

Sallie, you do it every time! Amazing! Fabulous image, stunning colour. I don’t think I’ve heard of the kind of car you mention. I’ll have to google it and educate myself!
