What a fun, whimsical site! I chose Jr. Pig. I had this cute little pig already colored and he seemed to be a match for the one in the inspiration. I'm also using a (flipped) version of Wed. sketch.
If it wasn't for the Splitcoast sketch challenge from Wednesday, I might not have ever finished this card. I had all the parts and pieces done and I played around for a really long time but until I arranged them per the sketch, they just wouldn't gel. Guess that sketch literally (pardon my pun) saved my bacon.
After I stamped and colored my little Romeo, I die cut then masked the image and while the die was still in place, I sponged on some neptune ink for the background. The lt blue bg was embossed w/ a border folder and the lower pink bg is piece I had left over from some long ago project. If I remember right, it was embossed w/ a distressed stripe folder, white ink sponged over the raised areas, then embossed w/ a mesh folder. Actually the reverse side looks more like mesh...this side reminds me of pigskin. The hearts down the side were stamped and I used two sizes of heart punches on them. I inked the sentiment w/ a black marker and stamped the 3 words on 3 colors of c/s then cut them out. The black strip across the bottom was punched. On the 5.50 x 4.25 card front, I stamped some hearts and another Leonard image but it's hard to see now.
Thanks so much for looking! Close ups are on the DRS blog.
