Answer 1

I actually did leopard on a crib before with other animal prints...here's what I did. Paint the base color on the wall (the light brown or whatever you're using...pink?) and then go around with a smallish brush and using a medium brown make quarter to dime size circular and oval shapes(depending on how big you want the print adjust the size but don't make them all the same size) all over the wall. They don't have to be perfect, always remember that or you'll drive yourself nuts. Then go in with a brush that is smaller than the one you used for the circles and using a very dark brown or black just go around every circle leaving part open. Leopard print doesn't usually have the black enclosed around the ligher inside color. Just look up a leopard online and mimic the dots but that was the way I did it.

It will be time consuming but not so much more than a stencil because it doesn't have to be perfect. Too bad I don't know you or I'd do it for you or at least help :)
