Birthday Tiger Card (Kitty Bee Designs Spotlight)

Hi everyone! :o)

On Saturday, June 30th, was my turn to be on the spotlight over at Kitty Bee Designs and I made this CAS (clean and simple), Birthday Tiger Card. :o)

I made this card for my cousin's son Marko, who will celebrate his 3rd birthday this month. :o)

For my card I used a SUPER CUTE Kitty Bee Designs 'Ty the Tiger' digital image. This is my second card I made using this cutie. You can find the first one here. :o)

How I made my card....

I printed the tiger twice, one on a white cardstock paper and second on a watercolor paper. I left images dry through the night to prevent ink smearing while coloring.

I colored the tiger printed on cardstock paper with black marker and fussy cut the tiger leaving white thin border around him. Then I colored the tiger printed on watercolor paper in watercolor technique using Distress Inks. After drying, I fussy cut the tiger, traced edges with black marker, softened the image with a stylus ball and glued the tiger over the "black" tiger.

Lastly, I stamped a sentiment from Jane's Doodles 'Belated Birthday' stamp set on a white top folded card base, glued some foam on the back of the tiger, placed him on the card and my card was finished. :o)

Card dimensions: 95 mm x 127 mm (3 3/4" x 5")
