I wasn't awake enough to flip the sketch so I could use the cute raffie from this delightful Wild About You set, so I ended up using the lion instead. Now a lion is not exactly the first image that comes to you mind when you think of a baby card, but it was the right size so I went with it. To add insult to injury, when I was cutting his head out so I could pop it up, it became obvious it was not a baby lion due to the mane...then to to top it off, I realized I messed up the sketch a bit.....thing were going from bad to worse until I remembered baby Simba and the Hakuna Mahtata (sp?!) "Don't Worry Be Happy" song from the Lion King- and that's what I decided to do LOL!
Hope you are enjoying your day and thanks for sharing a bit of yours with me :)

I think it turned out beautifully! Love your take on the sketch, Marisa. That lion is perfectly cute and the background with the buttons & twine & crimping is sweet as can be. Great layering of the nesties!
ReplyDeleteAre you kidding? I think this adorable lion is perfect for a baby card! I just love this, Marisa. Love the wrapped twine, the crimped panel, and the sweet patterned paper. I remember seeing a lot of baby gear with a jungle theme when I was pregnant, so this works perfectly!

ReplyDeleteThis is really cute! Love the bg paper and the nesties you've used to frame the lion :)
ReplyDeleteI just love the songs from "Lion King" and now you've got me humming them! :-) Fabulous baby card and it never entered my mind that a lion wasn't appropriate...I think in the context of all your other elements, it's perfect!
