Lion or Lamb? (PIO #9)

This is my very first post for the Pile It On Challenge Blog! Oh my, am I excited. One of you out there (and I won't name names...) has even called me the "challenge queen". Guess the pressure to live up to that name is on now. :)

Our challenge this week is sponsored by Jellypark and they are giving our winner a choice of two digital stamps. WOW! 


Thank you so much for sponsoring us!  

I created two cards for this challenge because I just have a hard time making choices about which image I want to use. So I did both. :)

Lion - Bold & Bright


I made the chevron background from MFT die and used most of the colors in Stampin' Up's 'Bold Brights' collection to fill in. Tempting Turquoise is my circle mat and my card base. I colored up Jelly Park's image with my Prismacolor pencils. The jumbo rickrack is from Tuesday Morning and super old, even though this is the first time I have used it. I'm so bad like that.

I would like to enter this card into the following challenges:
CAS: Colour and Sketch #63
Creative Card Crew #56 - Get Well
Sweet Stamps #158 - Favorite color(s) (If you ask my kids what my favorite color is, they'll say the rainbow!)
The Squirrel and the Fox #64 - Something Spooled (That jumbo rickrack.)
The Card Concept #4 - Use a Floral Theme
Crafting From the Heart #7 - Anything Goes/Use Flowers

Lamb - Sweet & Soft



I colored up my Jelly Park image with my Prismacolor pencils and mounted her on Going Gray SU cardstock. After I embossed the Pretty in Pink mat with my harlequin Cuttlebug folder, I added the little hearts (from this card). I thought that I would add Stickles but I started to and it wasn't looking right so I wiped it off. May try again later with a different color but just not feeling it at the moment. The sentiment is from Stampin' Up's Teeny Tiny Wishes. The 'velvet' ribbon is American Crafts that I got at Tuesday Morning a couple months ago.

I would like to enter this card into the following challenges:
CAS(E) this sketch #66
Cute Card Thursday #310 - Springtime
Crafting By Designs - Spring Colors
Delightful Sketches - Keep It Simple 
Addicted to Stamps #84 - CAS
Through the Craft Room Door - Anything Goes
Tuesday Throwdown #184 - Anything Goes
The Pink Elephant #239 - Pink
Love to Create #104 - Anything Goes

Thanks for looking! I hope this finds you happy and healthy.


Thanks again, Jellypark!!
