2 great cards. I especially like the Extra card.
Especially like the sponging on the 1st card. Both your cards have a Safari look to them. Wild about this stamp set. Wonderful creations. On my bucket list is to go on an African Safari. I used Be Wild & Free for the Simple Salutations Ch#3 Tree and used 2 inks to color it.

Just gorgeous. You scene is so intense I can almost see the heat rising up from the sand!
Love that big banyon tree (at least that's what I think it's called!). Beautiful sunset you created too - makes me want to go to Africa!
Amazing sunset. Love it. :) Janis
Wow!! I love your sky on the first card. It's so beautiful with the wisps of pink here and there. It looks just like our evening sky a couple of nights ago. Your extra card is wonderful too. I'm curious what you did to get such cool texture with the Potter's Clay ink.
Oops, just read that you used an acrylic block :) I thought perhaps it was masking tape.
WOWZA!Fabulous message of peace and using a lion and a zebra~So clever Benz! Your sponging is really superb girl! Your extra card is terrific too girl!
