The main image is coloured with promarkers and glossy accents added to the eyes, I've distressed the edges with my craft knife, Vintage photo DI and Black soot DI. I added some faux stitching by pricking holes and drawing the stitches with a sakura stardust brown pen. The brown snakeskin BP is from my stash and the animal print one is from Joanna Sheens Eastern Treasures CD, it wasn't quite the right shade so i dusted spiced marmalade and Vintage photo distress inks over to colour it. The edges of the bps are also distressed with my craft knife. I added some ribbon from my stash, a couple of brass buttons and a sentiment stamped using a HOTP sentiment and the word 'tiger' using a paper artsy alphabet.
