Handmade Pig Latin Card

Ellohay!

I found this pig who speaks Pig Latin at Mo's Digital Pencil. The digital stamp/sentiment is named "Hello Pig". 

The base for this card is a light pink blank card that measures 5" by 6.5".

I merged the image and the sentiment with Microsoft Word. I also merged a hill for the pig to stand on. The hill image was an exclusive image for members of Maurie Manning's Patreon supporters. I printed the layout on white cardstock and colored the pig with Copic Sketch markers and Promarkers.

I used a piece of black cardstock for the background. I attached the die-cut "hello" above the pig's head. 

This clean and simple card would make a cute masculine birthday card. It is sure to put a smile on the recipient's face.

I will enter this card in the following challenge;

Let Heaven and Nature Sing

Each year I plan to make my Christmas cards before the holiday rush. I decided to celebrate "Christmas in July" with my first Christmas card of 2019.

The base of this card is a blank green cardstock card that measures 5" by 6.5" (Recollections from Michaels).

I chose the digital stamp/sentiment Bird Tree from Mo's Digital Pencil. I used Canva to merge the image and sentiment. I added the hill and two small trees from the Little House Elements that Maurie Manning gave her Patreon subscribers. I printed the design on white cardstock with my HP Photo Printer and Instant Ink.

I watercolored the birds on the tree with Zig Clean Color Real Brush markers. I added shadows around the tree and on the ground with Copic Sketch markers.

I chose a clean and simple card design because I wanted to emphasize the sentiment on the card...Joy to the World, the Lord is Come!

Handmade Clean and Simple Card

I made this card for Mo's Challenge #228 - Clean and Simple. A "clean and simple" card has a limited number of embellishments. This style works very well if you want to send the card through the US Postal Service.

The base is a 5" by 7" blank kraft card (Paper Studio). I get these blank cards in a Value Pack at Hobby Lobby when they are 50% off.

I was very lucky to find a big bag of Creative Memories mini scrapbooking kits with patterned paper and coordinated stickers at a yard sale. I used the "Cabana" set for the background of this card.

I used a Martha Stewart punch to make the ladybugs on each corner of the blue paper.

I chose the Ladybug Fairy digital stamp from the 3 Baby Fairies set at Mo's Digital Pencil. I colored the fairy with Copic Sketch markers and used Stickles glitter glue to highlight the wings.

I embellished the card with a "Love" jelly sticker from Me & My Big Ideas (I got a pack of 24 of these stickers for $0.49 at Goodwill.)
