This was a simple card to make with (I think) alot of impact. I used the Ranger mini blending tool to plop down my sun then masked it and continued to sponge an array of autumn colors over the glossy cardstock.
I found a simple clipart shape of Africa, printed on white cardstock and fussy cut away the inside keeping the negative space, to frame the sponged piece and die cut giraffes / tree. Finished with the lion which had been colored with prismacolor pencils then fussy cut.
This will go to my sister who will be going on an African Safari to celebrate her 50th birthday!
