This Little Piggy

Leave a reply

Today I’m sharing another card featuring This Little Piggy which, as I’ve mentioned before, is an adorable stamp set. But this time I’ve included the Oh My Stars new embossing folder. I love how embossing folders can add such great texture to a project with such ease.

So here I’ve used a pop of lemon lime twist embossed with the Oh My Stars folder. I could’ve done an entire layer, but I feel that just the small piece makes a bigger statement. And it leaves a lot of the Berry Burst uncovered. My pig is stamped in the archival basic black and after leaving it to dry, I used an aquapainter and powder pink and lemon lime twist to color the pig and the grass. For the flower, I used my stampin’ write markers – hard to get a big wash of color in the little spaces. The hooves were done with an early espresso watercolor pencil. I guess I was just using all the possibilities! I framed the watercolor paper with some basic black to pull it all together and popped it up with dimensionals. What do you think? Time to get out This Little Piggy yourself?

Layering Leaves Dynamic TIEF

Leave a reply

One of the products that I received last week in my big box was the Layering Leaves Dynamic TIEF. I love it. It creates such awesome texture. There are things to know – spritz the card stock with water and run it through the big shot twice and you get fabulous texture. Here on a piece of lemon lime twist. Yes, the color that I was planning to use only for pops of color. I can still hear my sister giggling about that! She immediately loved the color and I decreed that it was too bright and I wouldn’t use it much. Apparently I should be more circumspect when talking to my sister – I told her three years ago that she was wrong about everyone being able to make cards and was convinced I wouldn’t be able to. Ahem.

I also used the This Little Piggy set and stamped this adorable pig on watercolor paper and used some powder pink ink (and more lemon lime twist) with an aquapainter to colour it in. A little powder pink flag to add a little interest whilst leaving most of the Layering Leaves Dynamic TIEF visible and I was done.

This Little Piggy is an adorable stamp set; truthfully I thought it was a little too cute for me, but when I came back with it from Onstage Live, I changed my mind.

For this piggy, I used watercolor paper, an aquapainter and some rather unexpected watercolor pencils. For the piggy, since there’s no powder pink pencil, I actually used a light covering of calypso coral which creates a very piggy kind of pink when blended with a little water. I used the old olive pencil for the grass and a little early espresso for the hooves. I added a mat of old olive that was just 1/8 inch larger than the watercolor paper and also used a scrap of watercolor paper for the sentiment which is cut out using the smallest oval from the Stitched Shapes framelits dies. Since one end of it was on top of the mat and watercolor paper, I added a scrap of both to the other end of the sentiment so that it was flat – and as a bonus it looks a little raised on the right hand side.

I used the Oh My Stars TIEF on a piece of powder pink to make the background interesting, but not so interesting as to overpower the piggy. I hope you agree that This Little Piggy is adorable!

I’ve been wanting to share this card ever since I got the set at Onstage but I didn’t want to share something that you couldn’t get for ages. I figure half a month isn’t so bad! So here is the This Little Piggy stamp set and the two in colors which were not released early. I saw the set in the catalog and thought it was maybe a little too cute for me but after seeing a demonstration I realised that it was on the cute side, yes, but it could still be a lot of fun and even elegant!

This Little Piggy is stamped in archival basic black on watercolor paper and then I used my brand new powder pink ink refill and an aquapainter to colour in the piggy. A little of the other new in color, berry burst for the flower with some daffodil delight and then pear pizzazz for the grass and leaf and the piggy was all coloured in. As you’ll probably have noticed, I don’t tend to do slanted mats, but after seeing all the swap cards at Onstage, I wanted to push myself a little. So here we have a berry burst mat cut using the Layering Squares framelits dies to slant behind the watercolor paper. Once I had the layers on my powder pink card base, I decided that there was something missing – maybe a ribbon. I don’t have any pear pizzazz ribbon from the new catalog yet so I used this beautiful 3/8″ mini chevron ribbon in old olive. I think it works! It’s wonderful ribbon; it’s smooth, silky and easy to tie – it’s a shame that it only comes in old olive, bermuda bay and crushed curry. However, if you’re a ribbon person, I think you’ll be happy – there are 56 new ribbons in the upcoming catalog!
