Ribbon Tab Lion (prepare for cute overload)

Oh, man.  Sometimes the cuteness that comes out of my basement is a little too much for me.  I created this little lion card for this week's Create: blog challenge where the challenge was to use ribbon tabs in our creation. 

Finished card size is 5 1/4"x5 1/4"

Here is how I put the lion together:

• Use the Cricut Create-a-Critter cart for the lion and cut three lions total, two solid lions and one with facial cutouts.
• Cut the heads off of one solid lion and the piece with cutouts.  (Sorry, I just couldn't resist).
• Staple the ribbon tabs to the head.  Adhere to the whole solid lion. 
• Cut layers and assemble face.  Adhere face to mane with foam.

Supplies: 

Printed paper (American Crafts)

Ribbon (May Arts)

Stamp (Hero Arts)

The rest is scraps from my stash.

Overall, it was pretty easy and I think the result is to die for!  I think I will make a couple more lions just to put around the house to make me smile!

Love,
