Hi Everyone my DT card today is for
This month, we would love to see your cards with the theme
Wildlife - Animals/flowers/plants/trees/fish/birds/butterflies etc (A&C)
I didn't have a "wild life" stamp, that I wanted to use, so off to my digi stamps and I came across this old one. That I had made into a card here, nearly 10 years ago. Anyhow, I printed it out onto cream paper with the sentiment, it was just the right weight to use for water colouring. After reminding myself what colours a tiger is, on the web, I coloured him with DI's. I then used a white Posca pen to go over the white areas. I kept it very simple, as it's a wonderful image with impact, I thought.
After colouring it, I cut it to fit the card, and layered it onto an orange paper background, I did the same to the sentiment. I'm so glad that I used cream paper, layered onto cream hammered base card. I think the white stands out more.
image - Wild 3 Morgans Artworld
inks - Distress inks, dried marigold, rusty hinge, bundled sage, peeled paint
white - Posca Pen
orange paper - stash
We have lovely wildlife themed prize from AALL & CREATE this month
I felt like Spring has sprung with tulips and daffodils and azaleas, with other plants blooming in the garden, so I changed my header to Spring, I hope it lifts you too.
tall Daffodils with Spring starting in the garden on another wet day recently
Tulips coming into beautiful blooms with Helleborus just peeking into sight.
It's a long time since I entered a challenge, but had to with Morgan's image.
He's a magnificent chap isn't he and just perfect for our theme. Your Spring bulbs are looking good and Tulips well ahead of ours.

Fabulous card, Faith! You colored the tiger image perfectly! And your garden? It looks absolutely amazing. The daffodils have been in full bloom in my corner of the world for several weeks. The tulips should start showing up pretty soon.
