I made this cute little piggy card using pecan pie cardstock 5 1/2 x 8 1/2 scored at 4 1/4 and a panel of pecan pie 4 x 5 1/4. I also stamped the woodgrain in pecan pie from the stampin up retired set gorgeous leaves. I stamped it all over the panel 1st 2nd and even 3rd generation stamping to get the look I liked. I used the stylish shapes dies to cut the circles out and used the peek a boo farm stamp set to stamp the piggies. I used light and dark bubblebath stampin blends to color them. I made one a little boy piggy and added a bow to make a little girl piggy. This is a very simple card that I had finished in under 15 minutes and I love how it turned out. I am actually very happy with the end result. I ink blended a little balmy blue behind them to give the appearance of sky behind them. I stamped the sentiment on a 1/2 inch scrap of basic white and cut the banner end with just my paper snips. I will be entering in the following challenges:
