It's all in the Eyes! Cheetah Card

I'm excited to announce that I was asked by Mark's Finest Papers (MFP) Speedy TV to be a part of their site and responsible for a new challenge, Simple Salutations, to be held weekly on Wednesdays starting on their site Jul 4. Please check out their site by clicking on Speedy TV. Membership is free. Also, if you join they are having a membership contest so please let them know I sent you. They have several challenges ongoing in which they give stamp sets away. If you use one of their stamps then your entry is counted twice.

Created this Clean & Simple (CAS) card using MFP clear stamp set, Big Cats. Some of you may know one of my favorite wild animals are Cheetahs. Leopard items are very common and so it is rare that I find Cheetah anything but when I saw the ribbon in an after Thanksgiving sale I was very happy. I usedthe Cheetah ribbon on this card as my Splash of Color. A Leopard has dark color on the outside of their spots & light color on the inside. A Cheetah has the opposite of a Leopard. A Cheetah has dark color on the inside of their spots & light color on the outside.

Teddy, my mixed breed Hound dog, that thinks he is part Cougar posed with the card.
