I used to think this little piggy had a face only a mother could love until I let my 4 year old nephew pick from my Red Bird, Yellow Bird, and Large Pig cards.
He went straight for the Pig card, grabbed it, and gave it a big hug!
Your little Valentines or birthday boys and girls will love this card too!

I'm too cheap budget conscience to buy chalk or ink pads in random colors, so I get eyeshadow at the dollar store or inexpensive eye shadow multi-packs with a lot of fun colors to use for edging. It works great! Just make sure it is all rubbed in so the color doesn't transfer.
Snow
Color: white
Amount: 1
Size: 2 x 6 & 1/2 inches
Cut the strip out on the paper cutter and cut out the snowy bumps freehand.
Almost finished! Place your piggy's eyes on first and then add the nose, mouth, ears, and eyebrows. Make sure you like the placement and then glue!
Glue the black background and snow to your background. Center Pig and add the ice around him. Measure twice, glue once!
Have fun giving these cards away!
