The Lion King, in particular the Hakuna Matata song portion of the movie, immediately jumped to mind as soon as I saw the Generations die set. The cub was die cut 3x from black cardstock and stacked for dimension. The Chippy Paint Background was then heat embossed with clear embossing powder on a Bristol panel then cut into 1-1/4” strips. Applied Mustard Seed, Wild Honey and Rusty Hinge distress inks (DI) to the strips for an ombré. Wiped off excess ink with a paper towel for the emboss resist technique.
The Bold ABC letters were then die cut from these strips and glued onto an A2 size black panel. The sunset part is Bristol paper ink blended in a semi circle with Squeezed Lemonade, Mustard Seed and Spiced Marmalade DI. Black Soot DI was applied along the bottom. A black pen was used to draw the grass and music notes to finish.
So is the song stuck in your head now?… sorry, but at least it’s a fun tune. 😂 Thank you for dropping by. Have a wonderful day.

Gorgeous card! Love your coloring, and your special touches, i.e. grass and song notes on this wonderfully created card.
I love The Lion King and you've depicted it beautifully, Trina! Love how you've used this alphabet!
It's been a long time since I was so inspired by any card as this one. The letters look stunning, I love every element of creating them. Thanks for the description. And the black silhouette of a little lion cub on this wonderful sunny background! This card is amazing !!!

Amazing design, Trina!! Love that song and how I'll have it in my head all day. :) I love the colours you've used for your lettering and background. So bright and beautiful, especially against the contrasting black. The chippy paint background is just perfect to add something special to the large letters. So creative, my friend! xx
This card is amazing! I just LOVE it!! Love the song, too, so thank you if it remained in my head! :D
All the design is really striking and I can see you used orange too... Ahah!! :D Love so much the effect on the letters, it's a great idea, absolutely to CASeing :) I had to enlarge the picture to verify that the grass and music notes were hand drawn, well done!

Love that song - my chorus did that one, as well as "Can you feel the Love Tonight" years ago - so fun! And your card couldn't be any cuter, Trina - love the lettering on the sentiment and the sweet lion cub!!
Oh... my... goodness!!! I love this so much, Trina!!!
Wow, this is amazing, Trina! I love this card as much as The Lion King! The singing cub is so cute against the gorgeous sunset. The die-cut Hakuna Matata is awesome!! Love the perfect pattern and ombre colors for the scene. The grass and music notes are wonderful hand-drawn finishing touches!
