My ‘Mane’ Squeeze
Hello, hello! Here’s that sample for C.C. Designs other new set to be released January 4th through All That Scraps, “Love Ya Lots.” So many cute images!! Look for yet one more tomorrow! (It’s a Take Two with Lindsey, Trudee and Julia. It’s been a while since we’ve had one of those!)
For this card, I stamped the lion three times, once for the main image, then a second time for his mane and a third time for his tail. I got the idea to pop up the mane from my friend, Teri. She made a lion card a while back that was adorable! (She’ll say the popped up mane wasn’t her idea, but I’m giving her the credit since that’s where I saw it!
) I used a craft knife to cut out the face. I popped up the tail as well, gluing the other end to his body/hands so it wouldn’t look like it was floating.
I stitched the linen thread X’s and added the Primas before adhering the assembled card front to the card base. I don’t like ‘things’ showing on the inside of the card if I can help it.
Thanks for stopping by! Have a great day!
