Birthday Card for Child Using Conie Fong Lulu With Cupcake Bundle

Hello Friends!  How is everyone?  I hope you are doing well.  I have been staying busy with Conie Fong Facebook group and Design Team.  I really enjoy working with such a talented artist and her Design Team.

My great- granddaughter was one year old yesterday; so I created her this adorable little piglet card.  I think this is my first card with a pig.  I had to look at pig photos to see how they look in real life.  I have seen pigs before; but they were usually covered in mud or the little ones that people keep for pets.  I did the best I could in coloring this image and tried to create the little white hairs all over the pig.  LOL!

I used this little piglet and sentiment from the new Conie Fong Lulu with Cupcake bundle.  Conie Fong has 3 new piglet sets for you to check out.

This set comes with 9 images/sentiments; so it is a big bundle.
It includes a boy piglet called Lonny as well.

Sympathy Card With CTMH Products

Hello Friends!  I hope you are doing well.  Life is challenging right now; but we have to keep on going and hoping for the best.  We cannot give up now.  I believe things will get better, hopefully later this year.  Let's all wear our masks to help slow this virus down and take the vaccine if you are allowed to take it.

I have been creating Sympathy cards; which is always difficult to do.  This one is for a good friend of mine, who lost her husband Jan. 2nd.  I know this has to be so difficult for those who are losing loved ones.  It is so hard to understand why so many good people are taken from us.  Her husband didn't die from COVID 19; but it is still a tragic situation, no matter how he died.

I am so glad that I am able to create something to send a friend when this happens.  I may not be able to do much, especially in this pandemic; but we can always show our love and support by sending a card, an email, a text or a phone call.  

This is one of my favorite CTMH stamps, "A Million Little Things D1925".  I love coloring this flower.  I used the new CTMH Distress Oxide Inks to color the background.  I discovered by trial and error that these inks work best on Watercolor paper; which is what I used on this one.  

I already had this die cut; so I went ahead and used it for this one.  CTMH now has a few dies like this one; which I used on my next two Sympathy cards.  I think it makes the cards look more elegant with these frames over the distressed oxide inks.
