Lion Santa

Happy Weekend Everyone! It's time for another Christmas card. This time I used Whimsy's Jungle Bells One - Lion by Crissy Armstrong.

I've colored the cute Lion using my Copics. DP is from Basic Grey's Jovial collection. Dies used: Nesting Christmas Lights Dies, Holly Vine Die, Holly and Berries Die,
Sentiment Set: Spell it Out Christmas Lights. Flowers and berry clusters are from my stash. I've added white Gesso, coarse glass glitter and stickles to decorate the embellies and the DP.

I've added 3D glaze to the jingle bells on the lions scarf to make them pop. Around the image I sprinkled shabby white Frantage.

Thanks for stopping by and enjoy your weekend!

Hugs,

From Our Home To Yours

As usual she's been colored with Copic markers. The papers are  from MME Lost&Found Christmas collection. The Holly die is also from Whimsy's September release: Holly Vine Die by SC Design.
