This card is the next in my weeklong celebration of my mom. I'm hosting the weekly challenge over at One Stop Craft Challenge and gave everyone a photo inspiration. My mom was a fanatic for Monarch butterflies; one of her other animal loves was the tiger. I had this image printed out for awhile and wasn't sure that I could do it justice. Then, I just dove in with my Copics and blended, blended, blended, until I had what I thought looked like a tiger. I know if mom could see it, she'd be thrilled. I hope you enjoy it as well, and will hop over to OSC and join us. There are 2 photos for you to find inspiration. Here's a snapshot of the cards I made from the pics. I still have 2 more cards to feature, so pop on back over the next few days.
Photo Inspiration ~ One Stop Crafts Challenge #96
I can't believe mom and I never chatted about how the Monarch's wings have similar pattern and color to a tiger's stripes. The wings gave me the inspiration for my card.

Charisma Cardz #35 ~ Song Inspired
It shouldn't be too hard to guess what song inspired my card - Eye of the Tiger by Survivor.

Crafty Catz Challenge #48 ~ 3-2-1
3 embellies (ribbon, diamond glaze, glitter pen); 2 papers (base and black CS); 1 image
A Spoon Full of Sugar #120 ~ Animal Crackers
Stamp-n-Doodle Challenge ~ Sports
I don't have any athletes in my card giving world, so I went with the theme of a sports team mascot. I was born in Detroit, so I always think of the Detroit Tigers when it comes to mascots. Hope it counts toward the challenge. :o)
