The Mighty Jungle


Supplies Needed

Font of choice – I used Inspiration, a pay font, but Coneria should work just as nice here

Vix Mask 452 here

A Space Between Tag Template 21 here

For this tutorial I used Angela Hobb’s “Lion King Designer Resale Package” which can be purchased from her resale store here.  The elements in this package are stunning!
