Welcome back to Card Swap Thursday! Today I’m sharing an adorable card, created by Vicki Howie, a fellow demonstrator in my stamping group. She used This Little Piggy… who believed she could fly!
Lots of elements can be found on today’s card, but they combine to make something really special for a friend who has just accomplished something fantastic. Vicki embossed the pig and the sentiment with copper embossing powder, colouring the pig in with Blender Pens. It would be fun to change the colours up slightly, and use our new Blends to colour in the pig. The result would be a deeper image, but I’ll bet it would really good.
Look at the dimension on this card! Layering clouds made with embossing paste over top of the card stock embossed with the Ruffled embossing folder makes for a wonderful base, and you believe the pig is flying!
Vicki added one last touch to the card with the sentiment on the inside. The copper die cut pulls the whole card together, giving it a nice shine.
