Well - time to start thinking of making some Birthday Cards - and to think of some thing other than Christmas.
This is a new stamp set from Darkroom Door. I have stamped it with Brilliance Graphite Ink - my go to ink. I have tried stamping it with Archival Ink as everyone does - but I can't get a decent image so I stick with my oldie but goodie - Brilliance. I also like to emboss the images I colour - helps keep me within the lines - he he. The Cheetah, Trees, Birds, Sentiment and Tribal Background are all from the new wildlife collection.
The Cheetah is my favourite BIG CAT followed closely by the Snow Leopard. The Cheetah reminds me of my "Big Cat" Priscilla - who isn't doing too well at the moment and is recovering from a rough visit to the Vet during the week. She is getting lots of love and attention befitting her 21 years.
I have also used my newest tool - the Perfect Layers tool. Thanks to Cherylquilts for telling me all about this - I need some more practice with it but this is my first try at using it - just have to remember that I am left handed and try not to use it right handed - he he. It works left handed too.
Hope you enjoy my Big Puddy Cat card.

Oh, Helen, this is fabulous and beautiful, and I LOVE this amazing cheetah! Your colors are brilliant! And woohoo about using the Perfect Layers Tool! I'm a lefty too, and it's just as easy for us as the "other-handed" people - hehe! You will get used to it, and your mats look wonderful! You've really used this new stamp well, and I love the great background! Hugs, sweet friend! xoxo

Oh, a great "cat" card. So beautiful and colorful. Your cat is 21 yrs. old? You have really taken care of that cat giving her a wonderful and long life.
