The first card is a birthday card. I started off by using the CASE This Sketch #302 as my base and built on from there.
I used images from various different My Favorite Things stamp sets. The sentiment is from Technique Tuesday's Umpteenth Birthday stamp set. I LOVE the fun sentiments from this set!!
I actually used a lot of images that I had previously colored and then die cut. Then when I have a card I want to make I have images to choose from.
This sketch was tough for me but I was determined to complete it as I am trying to challenge myself a bit more and get out of my comfort zone.
The polka dot paper is from my scrap bin.
I am entering this into Seize The Birthday challenge #157 but am not using the topping, stamping only.
My second card I created for two challenges-The Card Concept #106 Pink Challenge (which I missed but oh well!!) and Uniko's Challenge #51 Anything Goes with a twist of Love.
I started off this card by stamping two hearts in different pinks onto white cardstock using Simon Says Stamps Tons of Hearts stamp set.
I added a pig from Hello Bluebirds Farmyard Little Bits and colored it in using Copic Markers.
I then die cut the panel using Lawn Fawn's 4 Bar Stitched Dies and layered it over a couple of pieces of patterned paper scraps that I had adhered to an A2 sized, pink card base.
I added some Tonic Aqua Shimmer and then Glossy Accents over the heart the little pig is holding and the tiny pink hearts to finish off my card. I think this is one of my favorite cards I have created in a LONG time and think I will be looking through my tiny images to create a few more.
I thank you for taking the time to stop by my blog. I hope you all have a simply FABULOUS Tuesday!!

These are just adorable! Those little piggies are too cute and I like the sweet little elephant too!
So sweet...love both of your cards, that sweet little piggy is just too darn cute.
Those little guys are so sweet with that birthday sentiment. Then who would have thought of a pig on Valentine - but it's absolutely charming!
Nora, your designs are super cute, love the little pigs.

So so fabulous! I love all of them! Your coloring is just beautiful! I wish I lived closer so you could teach me! Everytime I pick up markers, it ends in disaster, so I just steer clear! lol Unless I'm coloring backgrounds!
