I made this card for my Grandson Mason who is a Lightening McQueen Addict.

#207 Animals at Fab n Funky

Hi Peeps we have a new challenge at Fab n Funky Challenges

ANIMALS

this week we dont want to see any people on your creations.

Our sponsor this week has a great selection of animals

I chose to use 

Wild 3

from 

FITZTOWN

and try something just a bit different- although this turned out more different than I expected

I started by masking the tiger and brayering the background I was really pleased with the brayering but the mask stuck to the tiger and spoilt the image, just as I was ready to throw it in the bin and start again I saw the back of the card which I had placed on my splodge mat to brayer on and this was the ink it had picked up from the mat and happy accident I loved the effect. I printed the tiger on top and using a cottonbud coloured the tiger with ink.

I placed the card onto some Tim Holtz backing card which I lightly sanded.
