There are so many great Wild About You cards in the gallery, it's hard to come up with something new! This card is based on one by Suedstamper.
I created my own background paper by experimenting with Canvas, Linen, sponging, aquapainter. I'd never be able to reproduce it, even if I tried!!
I did the wax paper resist technique on the mustard piece that the lion is mounted on. It looks Safari-ish. The lion's mane is cut out and popped up, and his face is cut on top of that. This card took me f-o-r-e-v-e-r, but I'm happy with the result.

Great! The time you put into it was well worth the outcome. Glad you tried something new for all of us to attempt to CASE!!! Putting it into my favs for future reference!

Wow! Lots of dimension on that lion! Great job. Love the background.
I've got a lion card sitting there needing something; I think I'll pop up his mane & face too. Thanks for the idea!!
