Only One Cub with Love

This is for today's SKETCH CHALLENGE # 554. My color combo is from Tuesday's COLOR CHALLENGE # 544 - Wonderful Soft Corals. My LOVE wording is for Monday's TECHNIQUE LOVERS CHALLENGE # 547 - Only One and this darling lion cub is for Monday's CLEAN AND SIMPLE CHALLENGE # 338 - Cute Critters. This rubbernecker image is so adorable to me I just want to pick him up and squeeze his little cheeks. LOL. I stamped the image in black omitting the circle part then colored with copics and sponged with calypso coral and wisteria wonder. My copic colors are Y21, 23; YG06; R81. Matted on Calypso coral and wisteria wonder. I used so saffron below with my one word stamped in calypso coral.

On the inside I stamped a sentiment from God's Blessings in calypso coral and the back of the envelope with Love. Hope you like it. This will wrap it up for me this week. Headed to the beach to celebrate DH birthday. YEAH. See you Monday.
