Go Piggy Go!!

I just love this little piggy......he believes he can do anything!! And he inspires me!! So I knew that the Thoughtful Phrases sentiment from Verve Visual would go perfectly with him! Doesn't he look happy? Heehee!

For this card I started out using Colleen's Thursday Throwdown sketch and since I knew that my image would need pinks and browns, I pulled out my Basic Grey Blush patterned papers. I stamped the Magenta Piggy image in Archival Versafine Black Onyx ink on shimmery white paper and coloured and shaded them with my SU markers. I took the colours from the paper and used Pretty in Pink, Creamy Caramel, Close to Cocoa, Chocolate Chip, Real Read, Pumpkin Pie and Mellow Moss for the grass and then I did a bit of shading with Sahara Sand. The image is matted on Real Red, then Chocolate Chip and dressed up with some ric rac, pink brads, Prima flowers and I used the Round Tab Punch to feature the sentiment 'you inspire me'!!

Now if you love this stamp as much as you loved my Horse stamp, you can order it in wood mounted or cling backed (which is cheaper to ship)from Nancy at Stamp Art. I got her to order some in for myself and my Mom, so I know she has some in the store, while they last!!! If you'd like to order one, I suggest you email her right away!!
