I had a request from a friend for a birthday card for his young grandson who just happens to be crazy about Leo, the Lion. As it happened, I had a grayscale clip art image in my stash which I think was probably art work for a movie poster but it worked perfectly for the card.
I printed the grayscale image, then colored it with my ProMarkers. I cut it with a Tonic Studios die and inked the edges. The sentiment tag was made with a Dovecraft die sent to me by a friend in England. I cut it from a very thin piece of cork and layered it onto a scrap of fiber paper (DCWV), roughly torn around the edges. The yellow plaid paper came from a Lawn Fawn stack.
How's this for a simple and masculine card for a young man? :-D
