You Make Life Sweet

Good morning!  The ladies at Ruby's Rainbow have a new challenge; for this fortnight, Helen has chosen "Food and/or Drink" as our theme.  Sounds fun, right?!

I have used one of my summertime favorites today...Penny Black's adorable pig in a bikini.  I love her and can't resist her charming cuteness!  She is water colored with inks and I've dotted her eyes with a black gel pen and added a Swarovski crystal to her purse.  I've used some old (very) papers from my stash and added a Paper Smooches sentiment and some ribbon for embellishing.

Image: Penny Black
Sentiment: Paper Smooches
Ink: Memento Tuxedo Black, SU! Blush Blossom, Regal Rose, Bliss Blue, Marina Mist, and Chocolate Chip Ink Pads, Sakura Black Gel Pen
Paper: PTI Stamper's Select, Spring Rain, and Dark Chocolate, The Paper Studio DP
Embellies: Swarovski Flatback Crystal in "Smokey Topaz", PTI Spring Rain Grosgrain Ribbon, SU! Chocolate Chip Grosgrain Ribbon
Extras: Spellbinder's Nestabilities, The Paper Studio Sticky Doos

I hope you will check out the rest of the DT's creations for Helen's fun challenge...they've done some great work!

Thank you for stopping by!

Hey Hot Stuff!

Good morning!  I've got a fun card to share today; I used a card kit sent to me by my Secret Sister and a stamp that has been sitting on my table just waiting to get inky!  This little piggy is one of my favorite Penny Black images...she has the right combo of cute and sassy!

I used the sketch from the Stamptacular Sunday Challenge...as soon as I saw it, I knew I wanted to give it a try!  I like that I was able to use 3 of the DPs from the kit.  The piggy is water colored with inks...it's been awhile...I'm a bit rusty....  I've embellished with brads and a diecut flower.

Thanks for stopping by!
