I had so much fun making this card today. Every time I look at it, I smile.
Isn't that little pig so cute? She looks so happy which makes me happy too.
I stamped the pig using Tuxedo Black Memento ink on Whisper White card stock. I cut the Whisper White card stock out using the Layering Circles framlits so I could layer it on the Rich Razzleberry scalloped circle. I stamped the pig a second time on Petal Pink card stock. Then I took a pair of scissors and cut around the pigs body on the Petal Pink card stock and glued it on top of the pig I stamped on the Whisper White circle. It was too difficult to cut around the pig's curly tail, so I cut it off. Instead, I took the Petal Pink marker and colored in the pig's tail on the Whisper White card stock. This is a quick and easy way to "color in" the pig.
The Rich Razzleberry banner piece comes from the Nature's Poem designer series paper (DSP). It looks like a solid color in the picture, but there are subtle stripes on the DSP. I used the Banner Triple punch to make the banner end.
I wanted to add some texture to the Petal Pink card stock so I ran it through the Big Shot using the Oh My Stars embossing folder. It looks like little fireworks going off in the background celebrating the pig's accomplishment.
Last, I wanted to add a little bling to the card. I colored in the pig's wings with the Wink of Stella marker. Although the wings look grey in the picture, these wings shimmer and sparkle. I also added some Silver Metallic Edge ribbon so the silver would tie in to the glimmer on the wings. So cute!
The inside of the card has similar elements to the front of the card. A small strip of the same DSP (you can see the stripes a little better here), a few embossed stars below the DSP, and of course I finished the sentiment. She believed she could.....so she did. I love it!

This is what the entire stamp set looks like. Isn't it cute? There's no way I could turn down those happy faces. I had to buy the stamp set and add it to my collection.
