Hello there my crafty friends! I made a quick watercolour wash to create the background. I used the
Golden Sunrise and the Red Sunset Pearlescent Watercolour inks and washed it across using a wide paintbrush. Next I stamped the Lion stamp and coloured using
Distress Markers (Vintage Photo, Scattered Straw, Antique Linen and Tea Dye). I used the same watercolour inks to add in the background in the lion's stamp too. I will admit that I handcut the image to make this card as I had the finished stamp before the die prototype arrived (not too bad of a job either! LOL) I stamped the sentiment from the
Wild About You stamp set. I used
black archival ink and stamped it in the lower corner of the card. The card was completed with white and black mats and layers. The finished dimensions are 7 3/4" x 8 1/4" in size. All for now. Sue x

Hello Sue,
Great card and fantastic cutting out.

Well Sue you know how to bring the natural beauty to a majestic king like this, you never ever cease to amaze me with your colour and shading, it always looks like you've had a book of the subject and spent hours getting it just so. And yes Sue even down to cutting him out, everything about this inspiration is totally majestic.
Whatever your plans for the day hope it's a good day xxx
June H. Thank you but really not necessary hope you feel more comfortable soon xx
Hi Sue and everyone a wonderful and majestic card, I made one very similar after seeing this card, i just added some tree silhouette to the background. Fab cutting out too, mine didn't have the circle part as I didnt line the die up correctly haha.
Hugs Donna xx

Fabulous card Sue xx
This card would be perfect for a masculine card including the young and the older! I like the watercolor washed background and you’ve captured the feeling of the African plains. The lion is so regal and his pose has a feeling of majesty with his head slightly lifted so you see the look of a lion gazing out across the plains. Beautifully done!
