I did think I could use it as inspiration for a card. One of my favorite images is the tiger in Mark's Finest Papers set, Big Cats. And today's challenge on the MFP Blog is to use a diecut as a background mat. The largest Labels Eight diecut fits very nicely onto an A2 cardbase. I stamped the tiger onto MFP Snow Storm Smooth with Versafine Onyx Black and clear empossed it. The Copic markers I used to color him are E00, E08, YR14, RV21, and Y38.
After adhering the tiger-print mat, I placed the matted tiger panel on with Pop dots to give the card a little dimension. This set makes great masculine cards, which don't usually need a whole lot of embellishment.
Thanks for stopping by my blog today.
