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.

Wow, Sabrina! You have given us a wonderful example to follow for this challenge! Love the gator. That was my oldest granddaughter's nickname for a few years!

This is such a cool card, Sabrina. The font on the sentiment goes So well with the style of th e card, and leaving the crock uncolored was the perfect choice.

I agree that the croc looks best left un-colored on this; I really like the blue, white and black color combination. And what a great idea to use the woodgrain stamp for water - I need to remember that!

I love your woodgrain water, so clever! I like that you left the alligator just inked with black, but I'm quite sure your creative mind would have colored him gorgeous. This is such a cool birthday card with the bubble bg.
