L.I.O.B

Hope everyone is having a great Memorial Day! I haven't really had the best of days, but I was able to slowly complete a card that I will enter into several challenges.

First I will give a little back ground. This card is for all my Phi Mu Fraternity sisters out there. Yes, it is a fraternity. Phi Mu was founded before the word "sorority" was coined. I attended college at Georgetown College and joined my Phi Mu sisters my freshman year. I learned so much from my sisters and miss them dearly. So, this is for them.
The lion is our Mascot. His name is Sir Fideles. Our Motto is "Les Soerus Fideles" or The Faithful sister. This Motto is how our mascot got his name. Our Flower is the rose colored carnation and the colors are Rose and White. Unfortunately, I cannot elaborate on the LIOB, but if you are  Phi Mu, you understand.

All papers used were from my scrap pile. The rhinestones are from Studio G. The ribbons were from my stash. The resin flower was also from my stash. The lion was cut from the French Manor Cricut Cartridge as was the quatrefoil. The letters were cut from the Elegant Cakes cartridge.

Challenges this card will be entered into:
  1. BBTB2: Zoo Animal Challenge
  2. I (heart) card sketches: wpid-Photo-May-14-2013-604-PM.jpg
  3. Paper Playtime: 2 or more ribbons
  4. Craftin Desert Divas: Anything goes with ribbon or twine.
  5. Created with Love Challenges: You Live me up (3 or more layers)
This card is not for everyone, so if you don't really like it, I will understand. But, thanks for stopping by to take a look!
