While blog hopping I came across this wonderful card by Deirdre. I have a friend due to have a boy any day now so I CASED the card and come up with this:
I choose browns instead of blues to make this card. It is a bit smaller than a normal card being 4 x 4 1/4 inches. I coloured the image in with Dye inks by stamping the ink onto a piece of acrylic and then using a water brush to pick up the colour. I used the computer to generate the sentiment. The ribbon was from the lovely Linda (aka Oz) - it is just beautiful - a really nice satin ribbon. So thanks to Linda and Deirdre...
Still more new stamps to play with yet.... I'll want to make some cards to send for Jennifer McGuire's Cards for Kids. Please visit her blog here that tells you all about it... She really needs more for the boys.... so might get the lion and his mate the tiger out and let them loose....
Take care and thanks for stopping by.

Lovely Dawn! Hooray for wonderful new stamps, love that gingham background! I still can't wait to try copics one day! :)
Wonderful cards, Dawn! I HAVE to get that striped stamp and make some plaid backgrounds--love that idea! The lion is perfect for boyish cards--is that a Hero stamp?
Great cards - love your baby card too... great lion and love the colours you used.
