Guardian Angel Card with Pinky the Pig by Honey Bee Stamps

Today I stamped a super cute guardian angel using Pinky the Pig Stamp Set by Honey Bee Stamps and coordinating die set  … isn’t it sweet?

This stamp set also coordinates with the sentiments of a stamp set called  Ham It Up, but I sadly forgot to add it to my last order so in spite I really missed it I managed to find a sentiment that goes perfectly with this sweet little angel and I used   Joy the word stamp set, one of my fav stamp sets ever.

I think Pinky the Pig will make a superb Cupid for valentines cards too!!!

I  used one stencil from Ocean Scene Builder and Tumbled Glass Distress Ink to create the sun rays and I created the clouds using  Cloud Borders dies …. they do such a great difference. I also applied a little bit of  Tumbled Glass Distress Ink at the edges of the clouds using a round blending tool.

I’m a newbie to Copic Coloring and as I mentioned in a previous post here  I  bought Copic Markers Set B  that include skin tones and primary colours.

For today  I used Memento Tuxedo Black Ink to stamp the images and WOW!! the ink performed really well and I didn’t heat set it.  I defo will marry this ink with Copic colouring.  I need to keep experimenting.

To colour the piggy I used the lightest pink colours in the set and a light yellow shade too. I applied them in flicking motion from the edges of the image to the centre.

I use the blender pen to soften the colour seems  and get lighter areas here and there. As I like contrast I added a hint of a darker red and brown colour underneath the arms and in those areas, I wanted to create shadows and then I blend those colours with the lighter pink colour. 

That’s all for today!

Many hugs  and happy crafting
