well, I went and got ya a ring of fire, Angie! Sure hope you can stand the heat!!! And I have to thank you because I discovered a new category of stamps that is understocked in my closet...now I'm going to be hunting aminals!
I decided to go the piggy route for this challenge, I stamped the 100 Proof Press pig thrice on Neenah smooth cream and colored with Copics. Marah Johnson's wild west alpha spells out "OUT" in black VersaColor. They, of course, are in the PIGPEN...hence the barbed wire from Artistic OUTpost stamped with TH di walnut stain across the wonderful Cosmo Cricket wood paper. I added the distress stripe on top for texture. Now the star of the show (Ken Brown Rubber Stamps) is the Pappa PIG jumping through the RING of Fire which was created from a scalloped circle that I scissored aka Edward Scissorhands. It was UTEE twice for dimension. I added a smaller circle that has fire Stickles to make this a real challenge.
Now that was 45 minutes to get it uploaded right???? Smile and thanks for the very burning challenge!

45 minutes? I couldnt have created any card in 45 minutes. Yikes, am I impressed, Susan! PIG OUT.... er..... that's so unlike any other phrases I do believe you've used! Talk about major departures.....this is really great, my friend. Just fantastic creativity. This really is a hoot and a great card, too. Thanks for the heads up!
