Simon Says: Love is in the Air.

In honor of the Chinese New Year

that starts on Feburay 5th

and will be the 

year of the pig, I made some 

pig Valentine cards:

I did not make them by myself,

I had some help!

We want to enter our cards for the 

Love is in the Air challenge on the

Simon Says Stamp Monday Blog.

We started with downloading this cute pig image HERE

and after printing we colored the pigs with pencil and markers.

This card is made by my grandson.

He embossed the background and added some ink

and stamped the sentiment. I cut the pigs for

him and after he punched out some

circles I added them with a stapler to the card.

As there where some pigs left, we also

added some inside.

Here is one of my cards.

For the background I used two different

Tim Holtz stencils and the mini heart stamp

by Michael Strong and oxide distess inks.

The pig is colored with markers.

The sentiment is a freebie for you. 

I made it up in Photoshop. Grab it by

clicking with your right mouse button

and save it to your computer.

For my 2nd card I started with the direct to 

paper technique with oxide worn lipstick ink.

Next i stamped the xoxox Club Scrap stamp

and the sentiment ( Heart to Heart 2009).

After coloring and cutting out the pig,

I also stamped the mini hearts on a seperate

piece of paper and cut them out. Both are added

with foamtape.

Thank you so much for looking

and have a creative day!
