Rainbow Leopard Jungle

Welcome to the jungle!  I know ... what kind of jungle is this?  Well, between me playing with stencils and rainbow colors, and Laurel Burch's fantastical artwork, this is the jungle that came out of my stamp room.  Color overdrive!




I colored the stamp with Tombow markers and blender, then cut out the whole thing.  Die cut and colored a grassy knoll and assembled the works against my insanely colorful sunray background.  Maybe we can imagine it's the very edge of the jungle and the leopards are stepping out into the light.

Just having fun.  I hope you're having a good day, too, and will be able to enjoy the Memorial Day weekend with family and/or friends if desired.  Keep it safe.  Hugs!

What a colorful jungle!! I love how you have colored all the animals especially the birds! We had to turn on the heat it got so cold here. I can't remember a Memorial Day so cold, windy and rainy. We are watching Daisy this weekend so she is keeping up busy! Hope you had a warmer holiday than we did!

Hi, Leslie! I immediately knew whose stamp this was before reading your post. What a tribute to her style and taste to make a fabulously colorful masterpiece! That rainbow sun ray effect is pure Lesle-style-genius, and SO MUCH FUN! I want to dance in it with the leopards! My favorite parts are the fantasy in the colors, and the contrasting blue-yellow foliage. Even the parrots are blended in contrasting colors. I LOVE IT! Thinking of you oh-so-fondly, de
