Hello and this brings us to yet another Sunday post! For this weeks MMSC challenge (details found here) I thought I'd venture out of my comfort zone and take on a more masculine look. Boy did it KILL me not to use flowers, glitter, and gems! At least I got to string some beads....

Other:        Copic Air Brush (Leopard and Grass), Black and natural hemp twine, Beads (Darice printed wood beads - Joanne Fabrics), Brown eyelets, Judikins D3 Gel (eyes), MS "Grass" border punch

  4. Holly what a magnificent piece of artistry. I love this image and how you created the frame around it. It is captivating and alluring in design and details. The strung beads on the sides are the perfect accent. Simply stunning and unique in style. Thanks for playing along with us this week at the Midnight Madness Sketch Challenge.

  5. WOW, Holly this is beautiful. Your Leopard is stunningly beautiful and the way you built the rest of your card around him is wonderful. The map, the grass, and the animal print dp worked their magic and made this card an absolute jewel. Love everything about it. Thanks for sharing it with us at Midnight Madness. Great take on the sketch and you should leave your comfort zone more often aparently!
