My dads fiancee asked me to make a quick anniversary card for her to give to my dad. My dad has always liked lions and since I just got my new Cuddles and Hugs set from Gina K I knew this would be perfect. The paper is Archaic from Basic Grey. I mounted it onto Very Vanilla so it would highlight the paper. The sketch is SketchThis:55. I altered the sketch a little bit to show off the lions. I used my Coluzzle to make an oval for the lions to lay on. I also cut out the lions and popped them up on dimensionals to give the card some depth. Add a few clear Baubles and some Chocolate Chip grosgrain ribbon and tada!
Thanks for looking!

very nice sketch! I remember liking this paper when I saw Gina use it for her owl peek, the clear baubles look great!
