Blog hop time for Sparkle N Sprinkle
Hi everyone! Well it is blog hop time over at Sparkle N Sprinkle and you get a choice of images to choose from this month. If you are into Deco then Deco Divas are sure to inspire you or if you are thinking of Valentines Day then Love is in the Air is the theme for you and that is the one I chose. Hopefully you have arrived here from Charlene but if not you can go to the main post and start from there. Also make sure you comment on everyone's blog for your chance to win some great prizes and then go to the main blog and answer the question there for an extra chance to win!
My thought was to make Valentines for children or have something simple that they could help make for their friends.
I have used Leo along with the Wild About You sentiment. My image is colored with copics and I stippled the outside edges to add a little texture to his fur. I have also used two different colors of sparkly flocking on his mane (Sparkling Coffee and Sparkling Sands) cause even a Lion deserves some bling! Now I stitched on my card but that would be something the kids could do with a marker and make faux stitching. For full instructions on how to make this card please visit the card gallery at the Sparkle N Sprinkle website. Next on the hop is my buddy Shanna! A reminder that through the end of the month, the Sparkle Team presents St.Patrick's Day, Easter and Spring along with all Becca Barton images on special - 15% off!!!

Really cute card, espically for a child. Leo is adorable in his fluffy mane and fur. I just may have to "borrow" this idea for the grandkids. lol
ReplyDeleteI need to practice this coloring technique. I love what you have done!
ReplyDeleteOh, for cute! That lion image which I own by the way would be a perfect choice for my grandsons. And, the paper and button trims work so well with the whole scheme. And, again, you implemented stitching which is a great way to embellish.
