I had this lizard image in my daily coloring calendar and I thought it would be perfect for my great nephew that loves animals. They use to have snakes not sure if they still do, but thought it would work good for his birthday. I had this embossing folder I had yet to use that made me think of the jungle. I inked the folder before embossing, but accidentally inked the deboss side of the folder, but thought you know it didn't look bad so I added some more green ink over the whole background.
Johanna Basford 2020 coloring calendar image, colored w/pencils
Ms. Sparkle & Co. - embossing folder, inked w/ memento bamboo leaves ink
Distress Oxide - Bundled Sage ink over the background
Papercraft inspirations - sentiment stamp
Dragonfly button
Liquid pearls - emerald green
To finish it off I added a dragonfly button and some nuvo drops.
Hope you have been enjoying a good weekend, thanks so much for stopping by,
Connie
