Fantastic challenge Judy!! I was a little scared at first... no Cuttlebug? No nesties? Eeek! But, I rediscovered all those old decorative scissors that I haven't pulled out in quite a while!
I downloaded this great DP from Sugarplum Paperie yesterday (thanks to Kristie/Kcherrie for sharing the freebie!)
Then I pulled out the Peace on Earth set from Our Daily Bread - I love this image, and thought it would be fun to cut out all the grass around it for some added texture. I colored the lion with markers, then stamped the image again on white and cut out the little lamb.
For the sun behind them...I created a mask by cutting a circle by tracing around a yogurt cup with my craft knife (no nesties!) and rubbing Only Orange and Yo-yo Yellow. I removed the mask and rubbed a little more yellow around the edges for a glow.
I cut a few strips of paper to wrap around the sentiment (thanks to Faith for this idea!) and used a metallic gold gel pen for some "rock" dots. The upper corners felt a little bare, so I cut a few triangles and layered them and added a brad to help frame the scene.
