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!

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
I need to practice this coloring technique. I love what you have done!
Oh, 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.
Adorable card and stamp, Amanda. Love the sentiment. Great idea to do a Valentine for kids.
Simply precious! Love that lion and the colors you used...!

Hi Amanda. I just love your little Leo! This is just adorable and I soo sooooo love how you have colored him and put your papers together. This is such an adorable Valentine card. I hope that you are doing well and that you Father is doing ok as well. I am so sorry that I haven't been around lately. I'm not sure why I have a lac of interest about my computer this last couple of weeks. I think it must be those January Blaaahhs. lol... We have been getting snow for the last two days, so we are knee deep in it now. Have a great evening. Hugs, Lisa
