Periodic Luck and Raindrops

Its LUCK over at CASology - took me a while to come up with something......

I took this from the periodic table of the elements - choosing Lutetium, Carbon and Potassium. I composed it and printed this out with my ancient printer. In case you are wondering about the pig - pigs are supposed to bring you good luck in Germany ( so called Gluecksschwein - I am German, in case you don't know). The sentiment is from a Hero Arts Christmas set called Merriest Wishes - I only used a part of it.....The little piggy is one of those $1 Michaels stamps and the arrow is Heidi Swap - another steal from Michaels

And just that you don't think I am that brilliant - I got the inspiration from a pretty ugly lunch bag, that I found  by chance on the internet...

                

                                                                                          Pig at a German new year event, 1965.

I like my card much better than that bag.....

And now I have a  second card to share. I made this for The Kraft Journal. Their inspiration picture really grabbed me and I wanted to take part in their challenge. My original idea did not work, neither did my second try, but on the third (.....or fourth) I was successful! 

I just LOVE how this turned out!

I used Ryns' Raindrop set, stamped it on water color paper and colored it with water color pencils. I fuzzy cut the drops and glued them onto Kraft paper. The sentiment is by Close to my Heart (You are my Happy) - I bent it a bit. 

In addition I am adding this card to the Snippets playground - those drops were stamped on a thin left over strip of water color paper and by the way, the piggy on the first card also was a snippet, of course....
