Rhino-ing Out of Time

All month, I've been meaning to enter the rhino challenge at Day of the Month Card Club, but found myself short of a) time and b) ideas. Now, just before the challenge closes, I'm off work and have also found a bit of inspiration.

First, I was playing around with my son and some alcohol inks (!) and the big leaf was on my desk - I'd cut it from packaging to make a stencil for another project. I started dabbing it with inks and liked the effect.

Second, the sketch at As You See It :
So, it all came together - just before I rhino-ed out of time. 

As well as Day of the Month Card Club and As You See It , I'd like to enter:
Fab n Funky  recycled packaging for the leaf 
Little Red Wagon recycled packaging for the leaf 
Aud Sentiments  nature

The leaf is a real show-stopper and really makes the rhino stand out. Thanks for joining in with us at As You See It Challenge.

I love your rhino card! They are such beautiful creatures and it makes me so sad to think we might not have them for too much longer. Thanks so much for entering the Aud Sentiments challenge.
