I am going into work a bit later, so I am back home today, which means that many of my basic supplies are at the lakehouse. Almost all of my spray type toys are down there so that made this challenge interesting. I went through my old paper experiments and found this piece of Very Vanilla CS that was made with the Ink, Spray, Smash Technique, but it had been an experiment to see what would happen on an uncoated CS surface. It has a kind of animal skin print look to it. So I used yesterday's Sketch Challenge and a noble lion image to create today's card. Greeting is computer generated. (I get along better with this printer than the one at the other house.)

What a lucky find that was in your pile of "spares"! If you wanted to make a jungle type print on purpose you probably couldn't do as good as this, LOL. Love the little string of beads, too.

I can't imagine having my things split up between two locations like that. I'm not the neatest or most organized, but somehow I think that would be hard. You created a great card for both challenges today. And I must say, your sketch card is right on. I think a lot of us used our "creative license." :>)

Aren't you glad you saved your experiment? It works perfectly as the bg for the lion image - and the beads look awesome!

Kathy, I like that you used what you had and came up with this awesome card! That alone is challenging and creative! I love how that background came out with your experiment and I must agree, it DOES look like an animal print! Great card with limited supplies!
