Especially For You

July is a huge birthday month in my world. I need cards for male and female, young and older for friends and family.
One of my good friends loves pigs so I went on a hunt for cute pig stamps - there are a ton of them out there! I settled on this cutie from Stamping Bella and I have a whole host of other places to go in the future! 
I love this seemingly shy little pig and his bird and snail friend! So cute!

After colouring this adorable stamp with alcohol markers and some Prismacolor pencils for some of the shading, I cut it out using a rounded corner with piercing marks die. I added it to some paper from Cocoa Vanilla, MFT and Carta Bella. 
Some rain drop corners were perfect to help fill some space but not totally take over the design. Twine and matching enamel dots finish off the card and a popped up stamp and sentiment add some dimension.
