Piggies & Pandas

 I have 2 cards to share today, both focus on heart and love for Valentine's Day. I would like to enter this first one into the following challenges:

Colorful Options Mood Board

Double D - Hearts

Try it On Tuesday - Romance

Sisterhood of Snarky Stampers #259 - L is for Love

Fab 'n' Funky #609 - Include a Stamped Image

I enjoyed creating this card with a mixed media feel - I used some texture paste through a heart stencil on a piece of watercolor paper.  Once it dried, I used several shades of Lindy's Magicals, Distress Spray Stains, and Distress Oxide ink pads to color the background - and used a little Stickles on the biggest heart.  I stamped the cute little pig from Paperie Ink Stamps Mr Cupid set directly on the background, then spot colored some of the hearts.  I added some diamond gemstone stickers to finish it off.

And I'd like to enter this one below into the following challenges:

If You Give a Crafter a Cookie

Pammie's Inky Pinkies - Anything Goes

Penny's Paper Crafty Challenge - Anything Goes

Simon Says Stamp Wednesday - Love is in the Air

Wednesday's Creative Inspiration - Love is in the Air

Just Us Girls - Dies Week - Use a Heart Die

I used a piece of Doodlebug Designs designer paper on a dark gray cardstock.  I cut my LOVE sentiment with die cuts using a previously distressed piece of watercolor paper.  I stamped the panda from Paperie Ink Stamps Crafty Friends with Versafine Black and embossed with clear embossing powder, then colored with alcohol markers, fussy-cut, and attached with foam dimensional dots.  I added the xo stamp in the upper corner and a LOVE sticker in the bottom corner and finished it off with some die cut hearts. Peace.
