Happy Wednesday...we're half way there! Today is release day at Doodle Palace and I'm just lovin' these newest images! Checkout this little lion, isn't he the sweetest?!

Coloring was done with Copics & Prismas. I used molasses Smooch, pearlized ink, on the mane to add depth and shimmer, I love, love, love this stuff!!!! The sentiment is from The Cutting Cafe-all occasion circle words-and I colored gold around it to appear as a second layer! I didn't have the right colored brads so I made my faux brads with a hole punch and shimmered them with some more Smooch!! Pretty clean & simple masculine birthday card!!

Doodle Palace will be releasing their new images later today, including this sweet Lion!

Here are a few challenges...
Tree House Stamps~colors.
Stamp Something~cute & fuzzy.

It's really been busy in the Matter household and I'm falling behind in blogland...but I will be around to visit all of you when I can! Gosh, I thought when all the kids were old enough to feed themselves life would get easier! lol Apparently, that is not the case! Creating my own homeschool transcripts for the kids is all new to me....so I'm still on the computer but researching and reading.....not creating and commenting! lol It's all good though and I'll get it all sorted soon!! :)
Praying Peace over you and your house! Many Blessings!!!
