Happy First Birthday, Owen!

It's not quite Owen's birthday, but his party was yesterday. I hadn't had time to make him a special card, but I found him one in my stash. However, when I saw the paper my husband had wrapped his presents in, I knew I had to make him a new one. The wrapping paper had jungle animals on it, and I had a set of stamps from Recollections with the same cute animals. Then when I found the set and saw there was also the word "ROAR," that's what I had to use. Owen is very good at saying that a lion says "roar." :)


I stamped the lion on yellow slightly patterned cardstock from Sizzix and cut it out. I colored the mane, ears, mouth and nose with Copics. I mounted him on Dimensionals. I colored the ROAR, too. I placed them both on textured brown paper and added that to Kraft base. I added googly eyes for some fun. The color is a little off in the picture - it actually all matches better than it looks here.


Thanks so much for stopping by, and I hope you'll come back and visit again soon!

    Thanks for the awesome comment on my blog, Lynette! You really are too kind! Glad you like my digital drawing. Originally I was just hoping to download a decent freebie to stick on the back but anything half way decent had to be paid for and mean old Shoshi wasn't prepared to do that lol!!

    Hugs, Shoshi
