It's a Jungle Out There

When I was in high school, our marching band director would sometimes take us on a run through the jungle.  Not an actual jungle, mind you--I grew up in Texas ;) but he would have everyone jog in place and do an entire monologue about running through the jungle, and we had to jump over streams and run around trees and duck to get away from snakes and dodge around animals and whatever else he could think of.  It was a fun and silly way to warm up before marching band rehearsal.  And today, I've brought the jungle into my craft room.

I could not let the Festive Friday challenge go by without playing along!

One of my favorite people ever absolutely loved tigers so I think of her any time I see anything related to tigers.  My current Facebook profile pic is a tiger, too, and it's the Year of the Tiger.  So anyway, I decided to go all out with the stripes for World Tiger Day, and from the inspo list I used a frame, two tigers, lots of stripes, orange (Cajun Craze is dark orange, right?), fur, and jungle (check out the jungle leaves).  The only stamping on here is the greeting (and I finally inked up my Evening Evergreen ink pad!); all the rest, including the tigers, is different patterns from the In the Wild DSP pack.  I had cut the oval shape out when I was working on a previous card so I just used that scrap and built the rest of the card around it.

Hope you have a great day today, peeps!
