Enjoy The Little Things

  Hi everyone!

 I'm so excited to be back as a guest designer for

  Gerda Steiner Designs!!

 Today I am sharing a card that I made using an adorable stamp set called

Pool Piggies.

There are 8 super fun images in the Pool Piggies stamp set, along with 1 sentiment. 

All of the little piggies are adorable, but I was drawn to this one reading his book. I love to go to the beach and get lost in a good book so he definitely called to me lol!

I started my A2 card by adding 2 different patterned papers to the front. I added a strip of yellow to help divide the patterns a little. Next, I die cut a large tag from some blue patterned paper and created a little beach scene by adding a small amount of white cardstock to act as the sea foam along with some Kraft cardstock to act as the sand. I die cut a palm tree and added that to my tag as well. Next was the really fun part! I stamped that little Pool Piggie, and his beach towel, with some Memento Tuxedo black Ink and colored them in with my Copic markers. Once I had both images colored, I did a bit of fussy cutting and added them to my tag. I stamped a sentiment from the Hello Friend Tortoise stamp set with some Black Versafine Ink, trimmed it down and added it to my tag, tucking it under the palm just a bit. I added my tag to my card front and completed the look with some yellow twine, enamel shaped shells and some white Nuvo drops. 

 I think this turned out so cute!!
