Birthday Lion

Hello!

It's the first week of school here, so I may be MIA for awhile, buried under all of the first week of school work.  

This animal knows how to party!  

Isn't he the cutest lion??  He kind of reminds me of the lion in Madagascar.  Lion from Impression Obsession was colored with Copics and fussy cut out.  I set him aside and worked on my background.  

I sponged distress inks and distress oxides on some Bristol cs.  I then spritzed it with some water and dried it.  Then I added the ink to my craft mat, spritzed it with water and dabbed the cs into it, trying to keep the colors in the same general area as the sponged colors.  Once everything was dry. I added a white ring that I die cut using the Wacky Stitched Circle Dies. I stamped the 'party like an animal' sentiment with IO Black Ink.  Then I heat embossed the 'Happy Birthday' with Alabaster white embossing powder and die cut the sentiment with the Rounded Corner Sentiments 2 Dies.  Both sentiments are from the Party Animal Stamp Set. 

The lion was placed on a blue die cut circle (think circus animal) and then popped up on extra pieces of cs, as was the sentiment strip.  3 black sequins finish the card. 

Thanks so much for stopping by and have a great weekend!
