Happy 4th of July!
I hope you are enjoying the holiday!
Today is our wedding anniversary and the start of the weekly Operation Write Home Stars & Stamps Midweek Throwdown challenge so I picked the challenge theme as - Anniversary Cards...
I LOVE Hambo Stamps and had to have this cute stamp and sentiment when I saw them to make the perfect Anniversary and Valentine cards. I've been asked to make a dozen Anniversary cards for our church and was thinking there should be a few of these in there, hehehe.
I colored the cute Sweetheart Pig with Copic markers:
Swine Flesh: YR0000, YR000, YR00, R01
Shorts: BV0000, BV000, BV00, R35, R46
Flowers: R35, R46, R59, G21, G24
Balloon: BG10, BG11, BG13
Background Outline: B0000, B00
Shadows: BV000, W0
My paper choices are Via Vellum Black, Copic X Press It, Neenah Red Pepper, Stampin' Up! Taken With Teal & Discount Card Stock Cobalt. The layout is one of my favorite sketches I had to search my files for from Splitcoast Stampers, Sketch Challenge #314.
Be sure to stop by the Hambo Hoedown today too, our challenge is running for two weeks so you still have plenty of time to play!
