photo card challenge - Hero Arts

This week's challenge on the Hero Arts blog is to create a photo card. You can use magazine images and I have done exactly that here. I saw this tiger picture in a Nantion Geographic Travel magazine and was taken by the tiger's beauty. I'm happy with this card, came out exactly as I pictured it. Items used: Hero Arts Cupacake and Playful animals stamps, button, jute twine.
