There was this pig. She thought that she could get into my little stamp pantry and tatoo herself with Petal Palette and even play with the Brushos. And you know what? ...she did.
- Card base is Blushing Bride.
- The Blue background is watercolor paper with mostly Prussion Blue but also a little Yellow and Brilliant Red Brushos.
- I layered the watercolored background on a piece of Whisper White thick (plus dimensionals!) to make it stand out from the card base.
- Tranquil Tide leaflets and Whisper White craft dots, both from Petal Palette provide texture to the multimedia background.
- Just like yesterday, the checkerboard border is made from strips of Petal Passion DSP. 1/4" strips of the stripe pattern staggered and taped together from the back. Sponge some grey or crumb cake on this to make sure it's not too white. a la Mackenzie-Childs
- The pig herself and her flower "tatoo" are stamped with Tuxedo Black Memento ink on regular Whisper White card stock and colored with Blends.
- Prior to fussy cutting the tail, I punched out the the center of the curl with the 1/16" hand held punch.
- Lightly sponged the cut out pig with Smokey Slate.
- I applied Tombow Multi adhesive with a sponge to make sure every last detail down to the curl of her tail was stuck down well to the watercolored and stamped background.
- The greeting was stamped on Stampin' Up Grid paper and then trimmed and pasted on, again with Tombow Multi.
- The inside has a 4" x 5 1/4" white layer with checkerboard border. I added a little Smoky Slate to the checks with a sponge dauber:
My first attempt: I masked the pig before the Brushos instead of cutting it out and adding it later. I decided the bubbles/circles from Playful Backgrounds were too big for the pig. Besides of course she wanted to play with Petal Palette!
I did 12+ of these for a swap - whew!
Have a good Tuesday - we continue to await the arrival of spring in MN - as it snows some more...
