I'm on my way to the Punny Farm...Miss Ink Stamps

Hey there inky friends!  I'm sharing a sweet little card featuring the cute Punny Farm Pigs critter set from Miss Ink Stamps. 

I did a bit of layering to achieve the dimension I wanted.  I also stenciled the bigger pond in the background and traced around it to mimic the other pond so that the layering would be like that of a shadow box.  

To help the scene meld together, I traced the inside of the sun (from the Scene Builder Stencil), the large pond, the grasses and the edge of the scene with my black microfine pen.  I also added a bit of Champagne Stardust to the ponds...just to make them sparkle.  

These little piggies and ducklings are so adorable.  I just love 'em.

Thanks for hopping over!  I hope this card inspires you to play today!

Club La-La Land Crafts October Kit: Winter Piggies!


Hello there inky friends!  Today I get to share my final two cards featuring the adorable new stamps in the October 2019 Club La-La Land Crafts kit.  This kit is so fun and playful!  It's perfect for my love of winter!  I love these little piggies so much!  How about you?  Have you been inspired by all the fabulous creations posted since its release?  I sure have!  

Today I'm joining Larisa, Cathy and Bobbi as we share fun projects with this kit! We hope to inspire you to create something Ahhh-DORABLE too.  


My first card features two cute little piggies having a ball out in the freezing cold environment.  They're building snowmen, making figure eights in the snow and keeping cozy in their warm clothes.  
 I gave the cute little piggie with the hat a fun hat pattern and a cozy red sweater.
I gave the second ice skating piggie a cozy blue sweater, hat and scarf.  I also added some icicles hanging down and the icy pond for them to play on.  

Copics Used:  
Pig 1: E93, V000, RV42
Shirt:  R17, R29, RV42
Ice Skating Pig: Gelly Roll White opaque pen,  B52, B12, W3, W5
Snowman and Snow/Ice:  C0, C2, B52, B12

My second card is a sweet pink girly card!  I wanted to feature the pinks and the whites so I used few colors on this design.  I opted for no color on my mountains and on my trees so that Marci can take center stage on this card
To  add a bit of whimsy, I stenciled (So Many Dots Layering Stencils) some white polka-dots onto the pink card base before adding the Kraft oval (Pierced Scalloped Ovals Die) and the mountain-snow scene.  
I love Marci with freckles so I added a few light freckles on her face.  I also added some "texture" to her sweater by stippling some darker teals over the light color.
After stamping the sentiment, I flicked some white acrylic paint over the whole card to create a snowy effect.

Copics Used:  
Marci Face/Legs:  YR00, E93, YR0000
Hair:  YR24, E23, E37, E47
Scarf, hat, mittens: RV10, RV21, BG32
Sweater Jacket: BG32, BG45,BG13, BG49
Sweater:  Y15, YR31, YR24, White Gelly Roll Pen

One little Piggie...Two Little Piggies...Three Little Piggies...TCP Sneaky Peek!

Hey there inky friends!  Today we're celebratin' the YEAR OF THE PIG at The Cat's Pajamas and we're doing it up in style.  We've got an adorable little piggie set and die set that'll work perfectly for all your piggie needs!  This cutie-patootie set will be available soon so we're giving you a sneak peek today!  Check out all the SNEAKS HERE!

I created a card featuring several of the images in this adorable Year of the Pig set.  I am imagining this little piggie princess trying to convince her coffee loving piggie pal to give her a little sip...Well, Piggie Pal wants to "Be an Angel Piggie" so he obliges!  
I paired up this piggie pal collection with the fun new Rectangular Postage stamp die set.  This die is fabulous and cuts three frames and a fun little leaf.  Notice the little posies on the blue background paper?  That little image comes from the piggie set too.  I just stamped some paper with clear pigment ink and embossed with clear embossing powder.  It gives a fun little touch of shine and dimension to the card too.  

In creating my little scene, I doodled a little sun to tuck into my framed panel.  I also used some light Copics to create the fun sky background.  It's very faint, but if you look closely, you might be able to pick up the color.
To finish up the project, I created a coordinating envie so that this card can be shipped off in style!  Remember, our TCP Tuesday Challenge #355 (Decorate an envie) ends soon so make sure you join the fun for a chance to win!
