Red, White & Blue "HI!"


I'm using the OWH sketch challenge #247 to put my card together today. I used a lot of red, white, and blue snippets for this one. The image had been stamped and sitting in a box for years, so I'm sorry I have no clue who makes it, but that piggy with those heart balloons really made me smile :) The background was done with a PTI center stage die, and I colored the image with Copics to coordinate. The horizontal heart border was done with a Cuttlebug ef strip that came with a larger 5x7 ef and the sentiment is from MFP, layered with a SU! 7/8" scalloped punch.

I'm also entering this into the Snippets Playground #161 (must use snippets)
as well as the Shopping our Stash #186 - (make a love card)

Thanks for stopping by and make it a great day!

    Squeal! I may be wrong, but that little piggy looks kind of PBish. Don't you just love when you find those hidden treasures? Well done in the r-w-b color scraps.

    He is super cute Carol! I love how the card turned out with the red, white and blue. He is a Penny Black stamp, I have him and he's always fun to use!

    Now that's a cute way to say "Hi" by anyone's standards. I love those little ef strips, don't you? I have a couple of them and they come in very handy at times. I really like the papers that you used to make a very interesting backdrop for your little piggy. Have a good day.

    Hello! I like the way that you combined different striped/chevron patterns for this card. And goodness, that piggy is cute. Hm, maybe I should link up with those two challenges this week, too...thanks for the idea.
