Cowardly Lion

I had a lot of fun creating the card that I'm sharing with you today.  Marjorie Ann Designs recently released a Wizard of Oz file and while looking it over I wondered how easy it would be to create a "shaped" card using some of the characters.  So in an effort to find out I decided to guinea pig the lion for my first attempt.

 

Fortunately, the main lion shape is included in the file so that's easy to weld to a card shape.  Not as easy was making sure that my overall card was the size I needed it to be while at the same time ensuring my other pieces fit.  Not that it was too difficult either.

 

One I got the main card set up I cut everything out and set off inking, embossing and chalking.  Once I was done with all the prep work I put my card together and added sentiments from the Jaded Blossom Yellow Brick Road stamp set.

 

 

 

And there you have it - a cute shaped card just ready to cheer up someone in need.
