I've been taking a walk on the wild side in my cards and wanted to create one with an aura of elegance and sophistication. To this end I selected to feature a leopard and use a color scheme of deep red and black.
CARD (5.5” tall x 4.25” wide)
Front Image: Leopard
Front Sentiment: none
Inside Sentiment: none
I created the base card from deep red cardstock and layered it with a realistic leopard print paper and black cardstock.
For the focal point of the card I stamped a leopard on white cardstock and colored it in rich browns. I sponged a combination of colors around the leopard reflecting the overall card color scheme. Upon completion I matted the leopard image with deep red and black cardstock and popped it from the surface of the card for added dimension.
I elected to leave the inside blank, however, I did decorate the white cardstock with a band of the leopard print and matted the panel on black cardstock.
I constructed a coordinating envelope from heavy white cover stock and affixed a band of the leopard print along the left edge.
