So onto today's card! I saw Make It Monday DT pal's Chrissy take on the Meljen Designs challenge to make a business sized card - a mega long card around 9.5" x 4"! Well, that sounded like a scarey challenge to me but Chrissy's take on it is just gorgeous (see second card on her post here) - she inspired me to have a go!
I was going to have my post title as "happy as a pig sitting in...[bleep]" but Steve said that was too rude! So I changed it to a more acceptable one - he is such a prude sometimes, lol!!
Anyway, that is it from me today - enjoy the rest of the weekend and see you tomorrow with my Make It Monday DT card!
I am also entering my card into the Catch the Bug challenge for anything goes.
Paper/cardstock: Bazzill bling pink cardstock, Doodlebug white cardstock, My Minds Eye Alphabet Soup (buy here from Quixotic Paperie)
Stamps: Meljen Piggy Bath (digi you can buy here), pc printed sentiment in Ali Edwards font (you can download it for free here)
Mediums: Copics
Accents: gingham ribbon from stash
Tools: Martha Stewart and Fiskars border punch, Nestabilitie rectangle die

Sorry, I have to agree with Steve. This little piggy is so cute. I like the punch on the side and the DP paper.

I love that you've done an elongated card, you're making me think I should stop being so boring with card shapes. But you know I'm too lazy to do anything outside of the ordinary ;)
ReplyDeleteI have to say I do prefer your first choice in title - teehee!
Nxxx
It's adorable, think I may have a go at this size, it's been years since I've done one like this.
ReplyDeleteTell Steve he is a stick in the...mud! Cute card, I have never made one long and narrow like that, may have to try it.
ReplyDeleteToo cute (love the FIRST title by the way!) I always love visiting your blog to see what's new - fabulous of course!
