Here is my card for the next round of the CAS spring DT search. This challenge was to use pink, kraft, chocolate and vanilla or white.
I've had the woodgrain technique on my "to try" list and I decided these colors could work for that. I scored a piece of pink pirouette cardstock every half inch and then rubbed over it with my Crumb Cake (kraft) and Chocolate Chip ink pads for the grainy look.
The cute piggy is from Kitchen Sink Stamps. I sponged over the white panel with Crumb Cake ink to mute it a bit. It's hard to tell, but the pig panel is popped up on dimensional tape. I used a clear stardust glitter pen to outline each of the panels taped to the chocolate chip cardstock, just for some subtle sparkle. Then I thought a little bit of twine would go well with the rustic look of my card. It's finished size is 4-1/4" square.
Thanks for visiting today! I hope my card leaves you "tickled pink!" {grin}
