Dawnmercedes asked us to use a "frame" on our cards for the F4A challenge today. I did a very simple Nesties deckled edged one.
Trish selected Jenna Barber as the Queen for a Day. Jenna is one of the fastest rising stars here in the galleries and challenges. Her own personal gallery is filled with extraordinary cards and scrapbook pages. I chose THIS CARD of hers more for inspiration than a real CASE. I did keep the Big Cat theme.
My husband and a close friend are owners of old British sportscars called "Sunbeam Tiger". There were never too many made so they are somewhat rare. They both LOVE b'day cards with a Tiger theme...the car or the big cat animal. This will be for his friend's b'day which is coming up. They are fast cars, so the "roar" part fits.
Enjoy your reign, Jenna. Congratulations!

Wow, Sallie, this big cat looks so realistic the way you've colored him. Your background, frame and grass all lends a distinctive masculine feel to the design. I know your friend will love this one.

WOW! Sallie, this is gorgeous. Your coloring is awesome and I really like how your b/g just 'fits'. I've been looking at this set but have always thought I couldn't color those images w/ justice.
