Hello again friends
I hope you are all well. I am back today with another card from the wonderful Tracey Hey of Alpaca Pals. Today’s card features the most adorable lion image – the set is called Warrior.
The image was stamped with Memento Tuxedo Black ink onto Neenah paper and coloured with Copics (colours are listed below). I then fussy cut him out and set him to one side to work on my base card.
I took the MFT Radiating Rays stencil and applied Antique Linen Distress Ink onto my base card fading it out towards the edges. I stamped the sentiment using Versafine Onyx Black ink as this is a lovely crisp black ink – perfect for sentiments. I really struggled to pick a greeting as the set has so many wonderful sentiments – I wanted to use them all somehow!
I added some foam tape onto the back of the lion and popped him onto the base card. Finally I added some black glaze pen to his eyes and nose and sparkle to all the areas of his mane!
I love how this card turned out, it’s all about the colouring and sentiment for me. I think this set would be a great one for making cards to send to anyone who is in need of a few words of encouragement.
I will be back soon with another project for you. In the meantime, I hope you have a great week!
Copics used: Lion: E59, E57, E55, E43, E42, E41, YR21. Mane: R27, R24, R22, Y08,Y02, Y15, YR68, YR16, YR15

Brilliant, fun, shaded so well puts me totally to shame. I love Traceys stamps as they are all so fabulously drawn. Thanks for sharing your inspiration.

I am Lion hear me roar! This chap roars in more of a purr I think. He is fabulous with his mane of bright colours flowing out against those rays of muted sunshine. So many things on my wish list right now…… xxx

I Love that lion. Most adorable. Went to website and the stamp sets are so cute!! So many animal sets are just not cute. These were in my opinion. Wish they were in USA!
