And this little piggy….

 I couldn’t resist sharing one last piggy..

A similar ink blended background, stamped with same ink

Then added some grass and leaves die cut from DSP ( Designer Series Paper)

The sentiment looked stark white, so ink blended the edges.

Thanks for stopping by, I really appreciate your visits and comments.

This little piggy…

This little Piggy got paper pieced…

The blended background was stamped in the same ink,

(An idea from Emma Goddard)

The picnic blanket was an off cut of tartan paper.

 

I inked the edges of the sentiment , 

the banner was die cut from a slither of paper

The balloon and cake got winked

Watch out because I’m not bored with these little pigs yet!

Thanks for stopping by, I really appreciate your visits and comments.

This Birthday Piggy goes to Snippets Playground

 I’m a bit late starting the New Year.

Hopefully I’ll catch up, meantime I’m heading to the new

Snippets Playground Challenge

Where they celebrate Di’s 11th blog anniversary. 

I’m also using NBUS, so heading over to their

NBUS Challenge #46

I used a tag from my stash (hoping to use up neglected stash this year),

Plus some snippets of card and paper

Here’s some of the snippets used.

I gutted the pink, using a new to me die set.

Annoyingly I forgot to take a pic of the other card made with the other snippets.

January has found me with a huge rush of birthday cards to make and send.

Thanks for stopping by, I really appreciate your visits and comments.

Have a hoot with little piggy

 Today’s card was inspired by

Once Upon a Time Challenge #2 Charlotte's Web

Perfectly CAS Challenge #31 - Halloween

Two Old Bats Anything Halloween

You may think I’ve gone a bit batty, but I saw the Charlotte’s Web ideas and immediately thought of using a new to me set This Birthday Piggy, with an old set Have a Hoot.

This little piggy is part of a special perfect partners promotion, where you can get a special set of dies, through September only.

I then chanced on the CAS challenge for the layout, and the TwoOldBats for hallowe’en.

Phew! That’s a lot of waffle for a simple card!

I used my Stamparatus to get a nice black outline, 

also because I used a marker pen to ink the partial image of the branch and spider.

I gently coloured with pencils, and a blender pen.

This is one spider that I’m not actually afraid of!
