To be honest, I was going to pass on today's challenge, but as I sat down with my morning newspaper, this story/picture of "Spook" the Lion who keeps escaping captivity in South Africa caught my attention. I took it as a "sign" that I should do the challenge. I coated the newspaper photo with Mod Podge in hopes of deepening the colors.

I know it's not a "Tiger", but I'm sure one of your friends would appreciate this just as much, Sallie. I'll have to look Spook up and see if I can find him online. The grasses look great, they add a real safari feel to it.

I love the way the Mod Podge softened the image! I would have never thought to do that! The grass looks wonderful stamped over the image and how cool that it peeks up and extends over the top of the image also! The distressing works so well with this. Wonderful, masculine card!

We crafters get inspired in so many ways. Your newspaper photo is super and the sentiment really is a funny one.

So glad you did not pass on the challenge, what a great story to find in the paper, perfect for today's challenge. I need to get some mod podge so I can save some great images from the paper. Nicely done!

Glad you did not skip today's challenge - we would have missed out on this gem, and a hint about Mod Podge too!! Gotta love your computer generated sentiment - adding that to my repertoire !
