Out Like a LION, in like a Lamb

Hi Crafty Friends,
I have been dying to use this stamp! I bought it around Valentine's Day and intended to color it up for Valentine's Day but never got around to it. So when I saw the Spring Challenge that Whimsy Stamps had for this month I knew I had to make it work for spring. The theme is "April showers bring May flowers". So I colored this darling lion up and put him in a perfect spring scene with sunshine, clouds, grass, and FLOWERS! Out like a LION and in like a LAMB.

Make Crafty Friends Q & A:
Q: Have you ever seen a real lion? Zoo? Safari?
A: Me? I have only seen them in the Zoo but my twin sister went on Semester at Sea and saw on in Africa, in the wild! EEK!

I created the background using Distress Ink Oxide Blending and white ink for the clouds using a stencil from Craftin' Desert Divas. I die cut the grass and sunshine, then added the matching flowers and gems. I finished my card by accenting the cheeks, ears, toes, and word "Lion" with glossy accents.
