Welcome to another week of challenge here at Cardz 4 Guyz and this week we are making Animal Cards! I know you must think, why is this card pink and is it for a guy, let me tell you, IT IS!!! My 4 year old son’s favorite color is pink and lately he is obsessed with anything pink – nail polish, clothes, and you got it, animal! So he asked me to make him a pink animal card and I will give this to him when I am away for a conference. I used the Watercolor Pencils with Blender Pen to color in the piggie and on the blank circle places I layer some cute DSP with hearts and again, his favorite Pink Paper.
