PigWit in the Planter

This week I combined the two challenges from From the Heart. The progressive monthly challenge this cute piggy and sentiments called PigWit in the Planter. i {heart} card sketches w/ a tWiSt #150 has a wonderful sketch to use and a twist to add a button or a bow. I selected matching papers from The Paper Studio called Khloe Lane. Both the image and sentiment were popped up with foam tape. Gina Marie Dies were used for the circle and rectangle and I added a button with a tiny bow from waxed floss.

Copic Markers Used



Thank you so much for stopping by. I appreciate your comments!

  3. So cute!!! I always struggle with how big to print my digital stamps. Which size did you choose here? Looks like maybe 3in. Thanks for sharing!! -Yar

    1. Oh, Yar, I have the same problem. I always just kind of eyeball them and usually wind up with ones that don't want to work with the sketch. If I do, then I change the size of the card itself LOL! That's why this card turned out to be a 5"x7". My circle had to be 4" this time to fit the whole image. I really should design the card first and then print the image to match the space I have made. Maybe someday LOL! I also don't like to color on images that are super small since I usually use Copics and need some room to blend colors. Good question though as you have made me think about it more!
