Proud Lion

Mornin' y'all!  I was down with a bad headache yesterday so I hope today is better.  Ryan is at soccer camp until one o'clock so I'm going to try to get some quiet craft time in after Daphne and I take our walk : )

I did get one little card made yesterday:


I love Inspiration Squad, the images area adorably cute and who doesn't love a good punny greeting?

Now for the challenges, starting with the Paper Players:


Those colors would be perfect for a floral card, but like Mary Mary I'm quite contrary so I went with a lion instead.  I used Peach Pie, Balmy Blue, and Lemon Lime Twist for my colors.  Plus a bit of Pecan Pie and Basic Black but neutrals are allowed.

Next up is the Festive Friday challenge:


I've got brown, black, ribbon, an animal, and...maybe an animal-themed sentiment?  An animal-adjacent pun?  Not sure if it counts.

Last up is this week's fun sketch from Atlantic Hearts:


Another excuse to use my Textured Notes dies : )  And this time I got out a circle die from Spotlight on Nature too.  I think I should take those out of the stamp case and put them with my dies so I remember to use them more frequently.

Okay, Daphne officially has the zoomies so it's time to take her for our walk.  Gorgeous day for it so we're off.  Cheers!

That little lion is just so cute, Christy! And yes, I love a punny sentiment too. You did a great job making a non-floral card with my color challenge colors, thank you so much for playing along with the Players this week!

What a sweet little card! I just love the effect that the Textured Notes dies give! And a cute way to use our Atlantic Hearts sketch too! Thanks for playing with the Players' colors this week as well!
