happy year of the pig!

it is time to celebrate the lunar new year and under the chinese zodiac it is the year of the pig. pigs are said to have beautiful personalities and they are associated with fortune and wealth. and they inspired this little digital piece as well:

i was happy to choose the theme of "year of the pig" for take a word this week. what will you create in honor of the lunar new year?

for my creation, all the money related images came from open clip art; background image, pig, butterflies and balloon are from miles beyond the moon kits (retired).

sin hai fai lok!

zodiac ATC

i love love love collage but my first love is stamping and i have drawers and drawers of stamps going unused lately.  literally hundreds of stamps....  thus i decided i should use stamping for the next challenge i enter.

so here's a little something i'll be linking up as follows:
wicked wednesday ATC challenge #95 "zodiac" and
scraps of color  #30 "black, white and pop of color" challenge.

this ATC honors sagittarius (my son's sign!) with its symbol "the archer."  the archer stamp is from "marks of distinction."  i stamped it in black, masked it, and then stamped the crackle background (from "sonlight impressions").  i went over everything with a black ink pen to make it pop a bit more and then outlined the borders and added some color with promarkers.

what shall i stamp next?

love to all.
