Lion Birthday

 

FS821 - This week's incredibly talented Featured Stamper is Leslie aka turnerl58. Her gallery is amazing and full of inspiration. Here is my INSPIRATION

USEIT2022 - Postcard

Years ago, my MIL gave me a stack of post cards with all kinds of animals wearing crowns. Well, that stack of postcards is in my tote to use up. When I saw Leslie's card, I just had to pull out the lion.

This was seriously the fastest card I have ever made. I cut the post card down, stamped the sentiment and glued to the card base.

Many years ago, my brother gave me the only rubber stamp in his home when I was over visiting. It was of a lion. I think this is a perfect card to give to him for his birthday.
