Welcome to my studio! Today my card was inspired by The Library Challenge and the book The Tiger who came to tea. I was not familiar with this book, but... would not having tea with a tiger be a life adventure? So I used the sentiment Life's an Adventure with the image of the Tiger. I stamped the sentiment stamp and the Tiger stamp with Memento Black Tuxedo ink and colored the image with Copics and a white gel pen. Added some highlights to his whiskers with Stardust pen and to his eyes with Glossy Accents. I was very pleased with my coloring of the image. I was also inspired by the bright colors of the cover to find a colorful Pattern Paper for my background and a Yellow (color of the table) card stock for my base. The striped paper was from the Kaiser Craft paper pad called Jungle Bug Collection. How appropriate? I completed the card with a brown mat underneath the image and added some Orange Dewdrops. I attached the image at a angle.....such seemed like the thing to do for an adventurous design. All supplies were from my stash.
