I wasn't sure about today's Inspiration Challenge site Posh Vintage until I looked around a bit -- neither "posh" nor "vintage" really aren't my style. While I would never in a million years wear anything like this dress, I figured I could make a card using it as inspiration. The dress reminded me of a very favorite image from Mark's Finest Papers set Big Cats. I've been asked before what colors I use to color him, so I'm listing them -- E00, E08, YR14 for the tiger; RV21 for his nose, and Y30 for his eyes.
My card is also for the MFP Blog challenge, to use a diecut as a background mat.

Lois,
Have you ever thought of doing a tutorial on coloring the big cat? He is just so gorgeous - every time you use him - he always makes my jaw drop!
