Lisa's challenge this week....Elements, earth, wind,fire or water. I chose earth....and the mighty lion. Stamped the image on bristol paper , masked it. I took modeling paste and stippled the trees and sky. Then colored them with acrylic paints and water colors. I colored the lion with water colors.When it was dry,adhered it to a piece of copy paper and ran it through the printer to get the sentiment. This was not my first try.....the wastebasket had some company today. TFL

This is fantastic. I love the lion and oh my that BG is spectacular. Take my breath away beautiful. I had thought this was from the old SU set which I have and oh this gives such fantastic inspiration. Wonderful work on this card. Thank you so much for making such a fantastic card for my challenge.

Stunning! What a gorgeous scene - straight into my favs. I love the highlight you created on the lion, and the foreground grasses and background trees are just beautiful.
