When I saw that this month's challenge at Sir Stampalot was All creatures great and small, I immediately thought of this lovely lion head stamp. I like the way it's shape aligns closely to the shape of the map of Africa. So I stamped it three times, coloured it with three shades of copic markers and added a little ArtQuest light gold paint to give it some shimmer.
Then I cut it o
ut and decoupaged it. Other African animal stamps complete the background and for the 'small' I used the little ant from a set of kiddies bug stamps that I used to use with the children when I managed a nursery school. I knew I'd find a use for it again one day!
The African mask is one of my embellishments made from air-drying clay in a silicone mould, and painted with shades of brown and copper acrylic paint.
