PIP Challenge 2148

 

Welcome to PIP Challenge 2148, sponsored this week by PIP Challenges.  The prize is a gift certificate to Sweet N Sassy Stamps.  I used a wolf image from Sarasota Stamps and did a bleaching technique to make the different colors.  I was amazed at how the paper responded to the bleach.  I used Stickles for the eyes.  I wanted to keep the card simple so the image is all I put on the front.  I thought I could use it for a masculine birthday card.  I hope you'll visit Challenge 2148 and add your link for a chance to win this awesome gift certificate from Sweet N Sassy!  Thanks for stopping by and have a great week!!
