First of all, I want to say a huge thank you to every person who has fought / is fighting for our country. The freedom we have has been paid for with a price and I wish to thank those who have gone before us and blessed us with something many countries wish they had. I was in the mood for a fun card so I pulled out an old Stampin' Up set I just love, Wild About You. I've had this set for many years now and still find the animals in it adorable. Needless to say, this is a set I will not be getting rid of any time soon.
I found some funky leaf paper at Mike's a few months ago and decided it was a good fit for this card. The lion's mane and head are both popped up and I added the little bird on his back for a little something and some grass to ground him. The card needed some colour so I added this bright orange ribbon to give it some punch.
The rest of the Design Team has some fabulous cards for your inspiration.
