A Walrus' Note

Please scroll down a post or click here for the
Lil' Inker Designs:: January 2016 Release:: Day 3 post!


This little, er, big walrus looked kinda sad-ish so I made a Miss You card, and the pink background is reminiscent of Valentine's Day, a day that can be kinda sad-ish if you aren't with your honey.


Completely inspired by the Coolest Card Series 2016, to create a Snow Themed Card using Valentine's colors. Pink is a tough color to use for me, so I used it in a big chunk in the background with the pretty patterned paper from the Love You Paper Pack. I started with a white card base, adhered a huge speech bubble made from Lil' Inker Designs Speech Bubbles Die Set and some snow from  Lil' Inker Design's Border Builder Die Set, then added a fussy cut walrus from the Paper Smooches winter set, Chilly Chums. I did color him with watercolors, adding a bit of pink to his muzzle just because.

I stamped the PS sentiment and then finished the card with some die cut LID Snowflakes.
