Go Wild!


Hi everyone,

It's challenge time with my friends over on the CCEE Stampers challenge blog. Being a brand new month it's time to introduce our new challenge hostess for March which is Anne Harmon.

Anne tells us that .... "March comes in like a Lion" So our challenge this week is to create a card with a wild animal theme. 

I have never heard this saying before, but I guess that is because I live down here in Australia, so our weather would be different to yours especially as March for us is the beginning of Autumn whereas you are in Winter/Spring.




For my card this week I decided to create a Pivot card using the Katie Label Pivot Card die set designed by Karen Burniston for Elizabeth Craft Designs.

I decorated my card using stamps & dies from MFT Stamps which I received for Christmas.



This is the front of my card, as the Anne referred to Lions in this challenge, of course I put my lion on the front :)



As you can see, I have gone a little over board with this challenge even decorated the back of my card. I had an animal left over which I had already die cut /stamped and colored ... so I had to use it hehe. Of course that meant I had to die cut, stamp and color another tree!

Don't forget to check out the CCEE Stampers blog (goes live 12 AM EST) to see the rest of the creations the CCEE Stampers created this week. You can also see more details of their creations on their individual blogs:

This card is so sweet, in spite of the WILD animals. So cute for a little one's birthday.

It must be a northern hemisphere thing, because we have the same saying here. Even if it's not true for you - what a delightful and enchanting wildlife scene you have created!
