A “Wild” Valentine

Hello!  I am sharing a card for some challenges today.  The Free4All challenge at SplitCoastStampers is to use a Wild Animal, and of course, it is Valentine season, so I naturally made the connection between these two.  



I stamped my Lion with brown ink on a scrap of yellow cardstock.  In fact, all the materials for my card were either in the scrap box, or half-done projects pile.  I matted it with red cardstock.  The embossed background was previously done on black cardstock, and then I rubbed a gold inkpad all over it.

I have this sentiment, from an old set, that I stamped on a die cut heart.  I think this makes a fun, masculine Valentine!

Supplies: I Brake for Stamps Lion Face, Stampendous Changito Wild About You stamp set, Versafine black and Vintage Sepia ink, Darice embossing folder, Brilliance Galaxy gold inkpad, Stickles gold glitter glue, all other supplies from my stash.  

I would love to play along with these challenges:

I love how you used the Lion for a Valentine. I have that stamp and it never occurred to me to use it that way, but I love the design you did. This is awesome.

What a great card Heidi - I love how you added the gold to the black embossed background for that extra bit of 'oomph' - love the lion and a perfect sentiment as well!
