Lion Birthday Monochromatic Browns Card

Created this Lion Birthday card using the same Animal
Kingdom Cricut cartridge image I used Aug 2011 but
this time this card is not for a child and would be more
for a man. Made it using Monochromatic shades of brown.

    1. I like the background paper that I bought in a paperstack alot and so I scanned it to save and be able to print when I want sort of like digi paper. If you look closely you can see how I also wanted to cut it just right so the Lion images showed on either side of the Cricut Lion image.

    1. I thought the banner sort of gave it a royal look as in King of the Jungle look for the word CELEBRATE.

    1. You're welcome. I saw that you had indicated your power was out & you were using an extension cord so I let the host of the challenge know in case you could not contact them within the timeframe to claim prize. Hope your power is back on & things return to normal.
