You HOG my Heart

I made this card for the MFT Camp Create Ombre bonfire craft.  I blended two green distress inks and one blue ink for the sky.  I wet embossed the sentiment in white on a black cardstock.  I used Copics to do an ombre effect on the pig and heart.

I wanted to get this card posted since I had it done, but just couldn't figure out how to post it to a Facebook page, but thanks to Christine I'm hoping that I get this done.  This adorable image was a freebie that I got from Craftin' Desert Diva and the sentiment is from TLC, Create.  For the background, I wanted it to look like a pool, so I took a piece of white paper and put my Distress inks on my craft sheet and sprayed them with water and then ran the paper through them.  I then heated it with my heat gun.  And repeated it several times until the page was covered with ink.  I like the variation of the colors and it was quick and easy.  I added Glossy Accents to the sun glasses.

May the BEACH be with you!

For this card, I created a background for the beach girl using watercolor paper and Distress inks.  I blended them and then sprayed them with water.  I added Glossy Accents to the sun glasses and beach ball.  I distressed the sentiment.  I took some pictures of my friend's granddaughter and her cousin on the 4th and I will be giving them a card.
