This is for my WT challenge this week ~ WT521 Hoop It Up, use circles on your project to mark the granting of the patent for the Hula Hoop.
Anne is our new hostess over at CCEE Stampers and she's asking us to mark March coming in like a lion with a wild animal theme.
For my base, I sponged the card with Forest Moss and stamped on the grass from Inspired by Nature with Olympia Green. After positioning the tag, I sponged in a single circle for a moon - or whatever.
Tag - Sizzix die, cut from watercolour paper after I had done the Watercolor Bokeh Background using tea dye, vintage photo, forest moss re-inkers for the background, and ColorBox Frost White for the circles.
I stamped Pocket Silhouettes in Olympia Green along the bottom, added a sentiment from ODBD and then my antelope, stamped on watercolour paper, sponged with distress inks and fussy cut. To finish off I edged the tag with a white pen and added a bunch of twine.
Pocket Silhouettes - Olympia Green, also for Inspired by Nature grass stamped on Forest-moss sponged background. 1 single circle sponged on card base. SIzzx tags and twine, In the wild antelope cut out on watercolour paper,

Sabrina this is so pretty.I like how you have the grasses in the bg and then the scripture on the tag speaks to me. Your bokeh done in the brown is pretty. This would be good for a man or woman. Lovely card. Thanks for the fun challenge.

Sabrina this card is so darling. I love the set In the Wild if I had to get rid of all my stamp sets and could only keep one this would be the one set that I would not part with. It is super on this card and I love your BG. Thank you for such a fun challenge.

When I checked out the WT I just loved this card, and I finally have time to comment. Awesome colors and such a creative design. It feels like an African safari. The black and white bakers twine is perfect. The circles in the bg give it an amazing look and the faux white stitching is the ideal finishing touch. Pinned and faved.
