My 7 year son just finished oohing and aahing over this card. This is his favorite animal. I love how that masking tape looks like the skin. Great work.

Of all of your In the Wild cards, this one is my favorite! They are all great, but I especially like the way you did the masking tape background on this one. How awesome!

Awww, you guys are too sweet! I wish I could say I thought of this neat background myself, but I CASEd it from someone else.
Hemeynell, all I did was tear strips of masking tape in 1/2 and layer them over each other so the rough edge was on top. After I covered the whole front of the card and trimmed the extra tape off the edges, I sponged old olive all over the tape. I've seen other cards done with brown inks to look like leather and even a grey one that went with the elephant stamp. It's real easy.
This is such a fun set! My downline loaned it to me for a few days, so I get to have more fun today! Yay!
