Sea Lion

Hello Nomad friends.  I seem to have misplaced a week!!  But seriously, who has summer??  It very unsettled here.  I need some sun to get my energy levels singing.  Please send.  

Best use of desk scraps.....   Made a background the other day and had this bit left over.  Decided to turn it into a Sea Lion scene.  


It's a distress oxide/distress ink smoochy background with added glitter.  I ripped a scrap of yellow paper to make the sand bars.  Harrison sizzix colourise die was cut from lots of brown scrap with a touch of black and pink.  The sentiment was sent to me by a friend.

I'd sail away with him.  He's so hansome!

Thanks for dropping by.  Hugz

So clever - a Sea Lion or a Lion by the Sea, either way he's handsome! Thanks for playing along with us at The Inspiration Station Challenge. We hope you'll share again soon.

I just LOVE that lion! Great background and sentiment too.

Thanks for coming to play in the Snippets Playground. Saved you a choccy biccie. We’ve had summer all week on the south coast of England!!! X

Wonderful card Gail! What a handsome chap he is. The past three days or so were incredibly hot, a little cooler today but actually more bearable. Hope you have some good weather soon!

What fun! I love that lion and I would never have thought of a lion on the sea, but I will now! So glad you joined us at Die Cut Divas for the July challenge of adding glitter. Arlene with Die Cut Divas.

I'm so impressed with the clever way you used "desk scraps" onto your card. The lion is adorable and looks so stately in front of the ocean scene. Thanks for joining us at Die Cut Divas.
