Happy Friday everyone! :o)
Today I'm sharing a mid-inspiration project for an ongoing Aloha Friday Challenge at Kitty Bee Designs.
The challenge for this fortnight is #78 - Color Challenge. Use at least 2 colors from this color palette.
We have two sponsors for this challenge: Crafty Sentiments Designs and Scribbles Designs, so there will be double prizes! :o)
For this challenge I made this CAS (clean and simple), Lion Birthday Card, using Kitty Bee Designs ADORABLE image, Lychee the Lion.

For this challenge I made this CAS (clean and simple), Lion Birthday Card, using Kitty Bee Designs ADORABLE image, Lychee the Lion.
How I made my card...
I printed the image on a white watercolor paper and colored it in watercolor technique using Distress Inks and Stabilo Pens. When I was satisfied, I fussy cut the image, colored the edges with black marker and glued it over second image printed on cardstock paper. I do this to make images thicker, as I use thin watercolor paper which doesn't work well with 3-D foams. :o)
I fussy cut the image again, leaving white border around it.
I stamped sentiment on a top folded white card base, glued 3-D foams on the back of the lion and placed him on the card. Small enamel dot on a flower center and my card was finished. :o)
Dimensions: 101 mm x 133 mm (4" x 5 1/4")
