MFP can stand for Mighty Feline Pouncing
MFP can stand for My First Project
MFP can stand for Mark's Finest Papers
Well, in this case, it stands for all three!
I FINALLY got to play with the "Big Cats" stamp set, the one I won a while back from Mark's Finest Papers. Let me tell you, I am not sure what took me so long. Big cats (especially tigers and black panthers) are my favorite animals so this set just made me smile throughout the cardmaking process. :)
Want to see what I made? Me too. Let's take a look:

When I saw this stamp, I knew I wanted to do heat embossing with black embossing powder. And so that's what I did. :) Here's a close-up:

Now, there's a story here (with Ted, there's always a story, I know :P ): I was at Michaels, just browsing around and I came upon some "Smooch Spritz". I purchased it because it was on sale for 40% off and thought I'd try it. Well, on that kraft paper I spritzed the image but I really don't know what it does for the paper! LOL! I think it's supposed to add a bit of tinting/subtle glitter... but I don't think I did it correctly. Ah well. :)
Here's a close-up of the sentiment (also from Big Cats). The banner I made by myself (no die):

Faith, the owner of MFP is an incredible artist/designer (as you see with the fantastic tiger she drew!) and I can't wait to get my hands on more of their stamps. A LOT of fun!

Very striking card Ted. I bet that embossing looks great in person.
NICE! Love your big cat. What a great idea it was to emboss him! And just so you know...I have no luck with that Smooch Spray either......
Just Purrrrfect! I love love love the heat embossing. It is awesome on that tiger and in that color to boot. Yep. He rocks! Great job Ted!
