Happy Valentine's Day!

Happy Valentine's Day!

 

I've kept a card to show you today to celebrate Valentine's Day:

 

 

This adorable little pig is Piggy from Gerda Steiner Designs.

I received it as I took part in their January Challenge (but it's available in the shop in case you are interested).

I decided to make a small card with pinks and reds (background paper is from Doodlebug) and a big heart behind this cute little pig.

 

Hope you have a lovely day!

This adorable piggy digi stamp was perfect for my new paper from Bella Blvd: I colored it with Copics and positioned it with 3D dots. I then added cloud diecuts (Toga France and Taylored Expressions) and a funny sentiment (MFT).

Piggy Bank Love

Yesterday, I decided to treat myself with some Meljen's Designs digi stamps: there was a 50% discount and, being a fan of her digis, I decided to have a look and choose 4.

Three were already in the cart but the fourth...? Oh, it was SO difficult to choose just one so I asked my daughter for advice.

Then, I let her have a look around in the shop and she fell in love with a digi stamp.

The day before, she had helped me while I was cleaning the kitchen and she had played quietly by herself the whole day while I was cleaning windows, oven, drawers, etc. etc.

So, I decided she could have her own digi stamp and in the afternoon she made this card:

I love her coloring, soft and shaded and with that touch of glitter that makes everything shine. She then had this idea to punch little stars and butterflies and write the symbol of Euro, as if the money "flew" into the piggy bank.

She was so excited with her new digi and her new card!

Of course, she will enter Meljen's Designs Challenge # 120: the theme is Anything Goes so this card is perfect!

Penny Black Saturday Challenge...Week 127

ALL MY FAVOURITE THINGS

Good Morning!

Yesterday I finished a card for this week Penny Black Saturday Challenge.

I chose this lovely piggy stamp with flowers colored with watercolor pencils and mounted on a yellow card.

It's not the first time I've made a card with this stamp but I usually worked with pinks while this time I wanted to change and go for a more fresh and "spring" look. I stubbornly wanted that big dark red flower so for a while I thought about my decision but I finally decided I wanted it (actually I wanted two but they were far too big for the card and I didn't have a smaller one of the same deep red).

I also dotted the card with white paint... I love dots as much as glitter!

There are really ALL MY FAVOURITE THINGS: glitter, dots, a tender stamp and pastel colors.

Again, sorry for the dark photo but it's raining cats and dogs this morning and it's really dark...

Well, the card will be avavilable in my shop sooner or later, in the meantime let me have your comments!
