Pink Elephant Challenge With Pink Pigs!

DRS Designs is sponsoring the challenge this week on the Pink Elephant Challenge Blog to make a card with your favorite colors. One of my favorite color combos is pink & brown, so I decided to use the DRS Designs Leonard's Bath Time Buddies stamp for my challenge card.

The layout I used followed last weeks Splitcoast Sketch challenge #234. I stamped the cute little piggies in brown and colored them with pink marker. Then I cut them out with my rectangle Nesties and sponged brown ink all around them while they were still in the die. I layered them as shown & used plaid ribbon to decorate the corners. I painted them with Shimmerz to give them a little shine!



I created the side panels using the DRS Designs Lots Of Lines Background stamp on white cardstock with pink ink. I sponged it with brown ink and used my Nesties to cut out & layer 2 panels to place on either side of the focal image as seen in the sketch. I decorated those panels with some brown brads and arranged then on pink cardstock to create my card front.


I used the Hogwash Saying for the sentiment, and split it up so part of the sentiment was above & below the image--another bonus of having unmounted stamps--the ease of making them more versatile! It would have been a bit more difficult to do if the sentiment was wood mounted!
