Happy Thursday again! I’m really excited to share my Miss Ink Stamps inspiration with you today. You know I love getting messy in the craft room and today is a big testimony to that. I used to love creating with Ranger texture paste but for some reason I ran out and hadn’t bought a new tub. Don’t worry, I fixed that now. And immediately dove into it when it arrived.
I inked up a white cardstock panel with distress oxide ink fading from picked raspberry to spun sugar. I spritzed it with water and let it dry while I mixed some paint in my texture paste. I knew I wanted to go super bold and wild for my card today. When the paste was mixed and the panel was dry, I taped the Hand Drawn Hearts stencil over the top and spread the black texture paste through it. Before removing the stencil though, I took my palette knife and created texture on the hearts so it wasn’t smooth. This kept the heart shape and gave awesome ripples in the hearts.
I stamped and colored one of the sweet piggies in Punny Farm Pigs and cut it out. Then I used a craft knife and cut one of his hands free to hold the O. The XOXO come from the EIEIO Frame die set. Last, I stamped and heat embossed my sentiment from Punny Farm Pigs and cut it out with a banner die.
I adhered the stenciled panel to a card base with liquid glue and then added my sentiment and piggy to that with a combination of liquid glue and foam squares.
For finishing touches I used a black glaze pen on the pig’s eyes, let it dry and came back in with whit gel pen for the highlight. This makes it stand out so much more than the stamping. I also added some glossy accents to his nose.
