No Lion, You're the Best!

Hi Crafty Friends,
I realized after making this card that it's a bit "Christmas-y" but GUY cards are so hard to make and I love the red and green combo with the lions. This is a "Just Because" card for a guy friend or spouse.

Make Crafty Friends Q & A:
Q: What are your favorite color combos?
A: Me? I love blue and yellow.... and I LOVE red and green and wish it didn't always= Christmas.

 I started my card by stenciling the background with an Altenew polka dot stencil and die cutting the shapes from a stitched rectangle die set. I inked the edges and added the fun sentiments. Then I mounted them on the card base with the patterned paper and finished my card with the cute little lions!
Supplies:
Reverse Confetti Leapin' Lions
Kat Scrappiness Stitched Rectangle Die Cut
Altenew Polka Dot Stencil
Green Ribbon
Copic Markers

  3. Meghan, I can tell before I even open up your entry that it's one of your cards...another cutie. And using red and green for another occasion is great for colorful children's cards...you accomplished your two things a male card and using Christmas colors. Thanks again for sharing with us at Double Trouble and 2 Crafting Critter Crazies.

  5. This is a sweet card and I don't think it looks too Christmassy given the circus setting here.

  6. No lion's on this farm...unless you consider that I'm a Leo!!! Love the red & green combo...I think the yellow pop makes it a bit circusy! Thanks for playing along with us at Double Trouble.
