Little lion

 It's LEO time and I have 2 lion cards, one a DT card in a few days. This little lion is for my Niece's grandson. The image is an old one, and I haven't used it before. I am ashamed that so many digi stamps have been left in files, not even looked at. Something I am trying to rectify.

Anyhow, I print and cut 2 layers of the lion and the circle, with 3 layers of the 3, in Silhouette and coloured him in DI's. Next I blended the edge of the circle, to match the papers I had chosen and die cut. I also printed the title of the card.  They were all then attached to the main card. I used this MFT sketch to help with the design, not followed to the letter as such.

What an adorable birthday card for a toddle of 3 Faith! I love that little lion image you have. I think we all have digital images that are sitting in files, not being used. At least you are doing something to rectify yours! I love the papers you have used on this card and I love your take on the sketch. Hugs, Brenda
