Mornin' y'all and happy Easter! We took Ryan out yesterday for the world's chilliest Easter egg hunt with friends (the wind chill was 17 degrees and there was snow on the ground), had lunch at their house and then learned a new-to-us card game. This morning the Easter Bunny left a bunch of eggs hidden downstairs in our house and WAYYYY too much candy on the counter where Ryan usually eats breakfast. So yeah we're going to have a sugar monster here today : p
But it's time for today's card! Every once in a while I get two stamp sets that probably aren't *designed* to go together but they just NEED to go together and that's what happened today and here it is:
This self-satisfied lion is the third creature in the Inspiration Squad stamp set, and the Support Wildlife stamp is in Motherhood Mottos and really that stamp is the whole reason I bought the stamp set (although the other greetings in it are great too). That Support Wildlife stamp just cracks me up : )
So! I had to get little Bravely here out for The Card Concept Challenge:
When I was a wee young Christy, I had a lion stuffie that had a voice box in it and would say one of a few phrases when you squeezed him, and his name was Bravely so of COURSE this is his stampy equivalent. Anyway, I kept to the theme in the inspo pic and kinda went with slightly brighter versions of the colors, so I used Shy Shamrock, Lemon Lolly, Pool Party, and Peach Pie. I think my card fits into the Clean & Layered style.
For the card layout, I used the latest CASE-ing Tuesday Sketch:
I always have a good time with these challenges.
That's it for now, y'all. I'm going to make lemon blueberry scones for breakfast and we might do a little painting today while Ryan enjoys his Easter basket. Have a fantastic Easter, y'all!

Well I can honestly say I hadn't given either of these stamp sets a second look - but that sentiment made me proper laugh out loud when I saw your card today Christy - hilarious! Have a chocolate-filled Easter weekend!
Love your card! The lion is so cute and the greeting is awesome.
What a cute take on The Card Concept Challenge for this month! So happy you played along!
