A card and gift for a Boy !




 This is a lion Jungle card - i love this Whimsy Stamp - perfect for a boys card dont you think?



The paper was so gorgeous that i didnt want to cover it up too much - im afraid i cant tell you what the paper is because silly ding bat me glued the paper before writing it down - sorry !

Edited to say that the lovely Maya left a comment and told me the papers are Sassafras from the Jungle Bungle collection - Thanks Maya xx
The faux stitching i drew scruffy delibratly ... yes i did honest ! 
I loved colouring the Lion with copics  - what a mane eh ? I used a white Hybrid Gel pen to highlight his mane , i am not sure the camera has picked it up , but it real his mane really jumps to life !

I thought it would be fun to make a box to match and put some Jelly Beans in !




 

The monkey is also a Whimsy stamp ! by the way .... im afraid a big gorilla came and unfortunatly ate all the jelly beans ... hmmmmm ...!

If your wondering why i have changed by blog i wanted to start doing some tutorials ... so needed bigger pictures ... hope your not missing all the colours x
and watch this space !

hope you all have a great New Year !
