Morning my crafting friends, hope you are having an enjoyable weekend, there are plenty of hugs going round to those who need them right now.
I decided to have a play yesterday and do a sort of CAS card, one layer. I have a few stamps I bought a while back that I have not used yet, this being one of them, and I thought they would do as a male card.
I got my card base ready and cut to size then measured a piece of White card to the size I wanted.
Using distress inks I started blending them together to form the background then stamped the grasses from John Lockwood's Daffodil Elements stamps, these are so handy! Next I inked up my Lion stamp with my versamark ink pad and heat embossed it with Black embossing powder.
I got my Aquatints water colours and mixed the Orange and Browns together until I got a colour I was happy with and painted him in as seen.
I stamped my sentiment at the bottom of the base card, attached my image with foam tape and there you have the finished card.
