Party Piggies with Deborah

 

Hello all, Crafty Crew Member Deborah Hellman here to share with you my card featuring the Party Piggies Stamp Set and Party Power Pattern Paper from the new August Release. The Party Piggies Stamp Set includes six image stamps and three sentiment options. It's perfect for creating celebration and birthday cards. Seriously, who doesn't like a playful pig party?!?



For this card, I began by selecting four sheets of paper from the paper pad to develop my color palette. Next, I selected a piece of bright yellow cardstock for my base to compliment the beautiful bright colors of the patterned paper. 

Next, I considered my layout. I knew I wanted a fun wide horizontal band and some unique shapes to mount my focal stamps to, so I rummaged through my stash of dies until I found a handful of shapes. Then, I tried several arrangements of the dies until I found something that provided both horizontal and vertical movement. I like to use shapes and embellishments to help draw the viewer's eyes around the card.

Once my sentiment was stamped and my background pieces were cut, it was time to select my marker colors, stamp and cut my images, and begin coloring.

The pigs were very easy to color. I used Copic colors R: 00, 01 RV: 10, 11. The balloons and accessories can be colored with any colors that compliment your coordinating papers.

After coloring my images, I arranged all of my components on my card to make sure I liked the layout before gluing. I then finished the card by adding a few enamel dots for a little extra detail.

Happy crafting,
Deborah
