JAI 136 Just add children's/kids cards

Hello there,
oh my we have a fun challenge for you at Just Add Ink this week. It's to add children's/ kids cards. My gorgeous little niece turned 2 a month ago and I knew I had to make something special for her to go with the lego zoo set I had bought.

I first saw a lion made with the Blossom punch at the AUS/ NZ SU! convention this year - I think it was Kim Gavarra's presentation. Seriously just the cutest. My lion is a amalgam of Kim's and a few others I found while web browsing. I wanted my lion to be warm goldy shades which is how I settled on So Saffron/ More Mustard. The colour coach suggested mixing that with Rose Red which gave me a "pinky" shade that wasn't too pink and works remarkably well with the golden shades. Assorted blues and some green were also tossed into the mix and rather amazingly it all looks good together! The recipe details all the punches I used (lots). Sponging, delicate embossing, stitching, and ribbon all add lots of texture and interest - just perfect for a 2 year old. I loved how this one turned out and am kind of pleased that it's staying in the family too :)

 

Thanks for visiting and hope you have some fun with this challenge too!

Kim
