Water Colored Tiger....

This card was one of those cards that you create..."Just because"

for no specific reason...

other than the image is lovely..and calls out to you..

When I was boxing up all of the dog and cat cards

to send off to my friend John.. 

(The cards I've been sharing here all week long)

I saw this new stamp sitting on my desk..

and...

I had all of my water coloring supplies out

(from the last dog card)

and so...

I thought I'd water color just one of this beautiful tiger image

( added it to John's box when it was complete...hoping that he will send it to his friends who at:  Tigers in America

If you've never heard ot Tigers in America...

you can visit their web site HERE

I am truly a CAS card maker...

as I always say..I love and appreciate cards that have ribbon..

dimension flowers..many many layers of card stock and a mixture of various prints

and embellishments...

I look at those cards...created by others...

and see mini works of art...

I, myself, however...

am a die hard CAS card maker..

In as much as I often venture beyond my preferred style of card making...

it's just not "me"

and somehow I always wind up making CAS cards...

again

So here's the tiger...

heat embossed with black fine detail embossing powder...

then...

water colored...

and mattered on gorgeous LCI Metallic card stock

and 

it's all looking very CAS-ish

(Just how I like it!)

He's beautiful...

isn't he?

Especially with the hint of green in his eyes...

(wish you could see the shimmer in the metallic card stock...it really gorgeous)

and he looks very much like the beautiful tigers shown in the photos 

on line...at the Tigers in America web site.

This beautiful stamp was purchased at

Sparkle N Sprinkle

(the same web site that I order all of my BIG jars of embossing powder from)

I'll definitely be making more of this card...

CAS...of course!
