This stunning extreme slimline design depicts a realistic Cheetah with animatronic elements sitting in a surreal steampunk inspired Serengeti landscape.  The Cheetah’s nose and ears are made of metal and on it's flank the cut out shape of the African continent reveals the Cheetah's inner mechanical workings of cogs and gears.  The Cheetah sits in a checkerboard landscape with silhouettes of a Cheetah and Giraffe beneath a Serengeti tree.  The landscape morphs into celestial elements of a blazing gear sun with vintage clock hands for rays and a crescent moon surrounded by stars and flourishes that represent the wind.  The Cheetah Steampunk Serengeti digi stamp is perfect for your slimline cards but take your slimline makes to the next level and pair it up with multi-layered Slimline Frame SVG Cutz sets that include Xtreme Slimline Card kits consisting of an extreme slimline card base and mat layers.
