This Little Piggy and Petal Passion

Hello Stampers ~ I have an unlikely pair in my This Little Piggy and Petal Passion card today.

Well I was able to do all 3 tasks I set out for myself yesterday.  I spent some time in the upstairs bedroom and clean out some of the stuff, I took pictures of my stamp sets for sale and sold 1 box, and I played in my craft room.  I have an appointment this morning and then I need to go to the grocery store.  When I get home I will be working on more of the boxes in the upstairs bedroom and working on more of my stamp sets.  If I have time I will work on more cards.  I have my video made for tomorrow but need to edit and upload it so I may do that before going into my craft room.

For my card today I had looked at the sketch challenge at Match the Sketch challenge blog. 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

I made a mistake in ordering and ordered 2 of the This Little Piggy stamp sets.  I could have sent it back but opted to keep it and use it for the girls.  I had no played with it and when I saw this sketch, I immediately  saw the pig with the flower on the long panel.  I pulled out the stamp and when I did I saw that it had the sentiment as part of the stamp.  That caused me to do something I have never done before.  I knew I would never use the stamp with the sentiment at the same time.  I pulled out my scissors and cut the sentiment off.  Now I can use the stamp or the sentiment and if I do want to use them together, the way I cut it I can put the stamp back together.  I will probably do that with the other stamps in the set also.  Since I will be using this set to make cards for the girls this is the best way for me to use this set.  I inked up the stamp with Memento Tuxedo Black ink and stamped it on my panel.  I then used my ink and sponge daubers to color the image.  I mounted the panel onto a piece of Blushing Bride card stock.  I needed to finish my card so I looked back at the sketch.  I wanted to use a piece of designer series paper so I started looking at what I had.  The Petal Passion had the perfect piece ~ did you see my Petal Passion class I offered in January?  Check it out here.   The one that had the scattered flowers on it was the one I chose.  I added the panel to the dsp using dimensionals.  I took a piece of the Berry Burst Metallic Edged ribbon and wrapped it around the dsp and attached it to the back.  The dsp was then attached to the card base.  I added some of the Basics Pack 1 washi tape under the ribbon across the panel.  I wanted a flower for the star element on the sketch.  I pulled out the 1 1/8″ scallop circle punch and punched out a Blushing Bride piece.  It did not look like a flower to me so I used my scissors and cut small slits all the way around the punch.  I attached the punch to my card base using a glue dot.  To finish off the flower I added a rhinestone to the center and fluffed the flower.  Here is my completed This Little Piggy and Petal Passion card.
