Hello and thank you for visiting my blog. Today's card is one I actually made for my son's birthday back in May. I am pleased to say he loved it!
Unfortunately the photograph doesn't really do it justice. The background is really black and embossed with a jungle leaf folder by Sheena Douglas I believe. The gorgeous lion is by Crafty Individuals which I stamped on a snippet of white card in Versafine Clair Nocturne and embossed with clear powder then coloured with Sentimentally Yours Watercolour Pens.. The background mat is inked with Distress Oxides and the sentiment strip is a snippet inked with the same colours then I cut the letters out of a snippet of black card using a die set from The Works. I really wish the photo had come out better, I don't seem to be able to do very well with my photo's at the mo. The colours of the lion are so bright and the image beautifully clear in real life.
I would like to enter the following challenges:
Pixie's Snippets Playground - Use Snippets.
Stamping Sensations - All Creatures Great and Small.
Darnell's NBUS - Never Before Used Schtuff. Mine is the lovely Lion.
Thank you again for visiting me. Not much news here. still staying safely indoors!
Take care and stay safe. Christine xxx

A fantastic image, so beautifully showcased, Chris ... it's almost as though this magestic lion's mane is glowing! Puts me in mind of Aslan (from the Narnia books)! Hugs, Anita :)
This lion certainly caught my eye on Bloglovin' just now and what a delight to find it was on your blog! Well done Chris on this lovely card. I am sure your son was over delighted to receive such a gorgeous card. And made especially for him by his mum.
