Happy Saturday, it's time already for a new theme at
Allsorts challenge. It's
Lorraine's turn to host and she chose the optional theme of A Trio of
Something. Lots of fun choices here and of course the option of Anything Goes
is there too, so there is no reason not to join us for a chance to win!
There are prizes from Oakwood, Highlight Crafts, AALL and Create and Craft Stash for the March challenges.
I am currently on the hunt for a particular stamp from Penny Black and while I
haven't been lucky yet to find that specific stamp, I did find some other
"must haves" on eBay including this cute party pig stamp. And I thought it was
the perfect choice to use for Lorraine's challenge. Unfortunately the stamp is
no longer available and very rarely on eBay as I can't find it anywhere now to
link to. It's No. 2605K Party Animals for those of you who want to go looking
for it.
I stamped the image with
Memento ink twice, colored with
Copic markers and fussy cut. I fussy cut
the 2 heads and backside once again and added with foam tape then adhered each
pig to a rectangle Nestabilities die cut. Pattered paper is from my stash.
It's been ages since I used a punch but decided a scallop edge would be nice
and I was thrilled that my punch still worked! (I have a few punches that
unfortunately no longer work.)
The sentiment is from a new to me set by Colorado Craft Company (
So Sweet). The flowers are part of Penny Black's
Frames die set which I originally wanted
to use but then didn't like the open spaces. I decided to still use the
flowers from the set as I already had them cut out.
Thanks so much for visiting!!
