First Somethings

The sunny weather has inspired me - I've gone very bright and colourful! But, there is a bit of a story behind this one...... This card started as the second attempt that I had at the Ismaki challenge. The first attempt ended up in the bin. This attempt nearly followed until I decided to abandon the sketch and just do my own thing. THEN, I realised that what I had done would actually qualify for a different challenge!

So, this is my entry for the Stamp Something challenge of the week which is 'First Somethings'. The reason this card is a 'First Something' is because it is the first time I've ever used the black and white doodling technique on any of my cards!

I used simple yellow card stock and cut a scallop shape around the outside. I coloured a lion from one of Scrap n Fonts doodlebat collections. The cage and sentiment also came from this collection. I matted these up with some blue and pink card, attaching the lion with 3D pads. I then printed off some of the jungle leaves featured in Kate Hadfield's Animal Doodles pack and mounted both them and the sentiment onto the card using 3D pads. The card was then attacked with my black and white gel pens!

I'm really pleased with this card. It's so funky! Ali actually commented that this was his favourite out of all of the cards I had made! Bless him, he is well trained!
