Say that one 3 times fast! ROFL!!
So... I *finally* got my hands on the Paisley BG stamp (the one that I've been coveting *wink* for a very long time) and had it inked up and ready to go within minutes of opening the package! LOL
I've had an "idea" in my head for some time now involving my very favorite little piggy stamp, and this oh so wondrous Paisley. Needless to say it didn't take me long to execute said idea and here is the result!!:
STAMPS: Pig and sentiment - GinaK Designs, Weave and Paisley BGs - SonLight Impressions. All available at stampingfreak.com. CS: Whisper White, Close to Cocoa, Pretty in Pink (all Stampin' Up!). INK: Palette Hybrid Noir (by Stewart Superior - available from TAC), Pretty in Pink, Regal Rose, Close to Cocoa (all SU!). ACCESSORIES: Stampin' Pastels (SU!), Brown Organdy Ribbon (Jacksonbelle Embellishments), Marvy Mega Circle and Giga Scallop Circle Punches, Paper Piercer, White Gel Pen, White Grosgrain Ribbon (SU!), Sponge Daubers, Dimensionals, Bazzil Brads in Hershey.
So to get this piggy to look paisley, all I did was stamp the Paisley BG onto a scrap of white CS, then stamp the pig over it. I then colored in her nose w/ a marker and cut her out (so easy as she's just a circle).
I then stamped the pig again onto white CS, and punched it out w/ my Marvy Mega Circle Punch. I "grounded" the image by rubbing on a little Cocoa pastel, and colored in the ears w/ the same marker I used for the nose (Regal Rose from Stampin' Up!). I glued the "Paisley Pig" on top of the other one, added a "bow" (I just tied the ribbon in a knot, trimmed it, then used a mini glue dot folded in half to adhere), then sponged the edges.
The rest of the card came together really easily after that - it was the piggy (and the paper piercing on the scalloped circle) that took the longest - but those were the "funnest" parts! LOL
Check in tomorrow to see the masculine card made w/ this paisley stamp!! *big grin*
