Hogs and Kisses!






Happy Friday!  I am Guest Designer this week at Tag You're It Challenges.  I think the inspiration tag is so fun.






Since the inspiration tag is actually on a card, I chose to create a card with a tag as well.  I started with smooth white card stock base.  I added a kraft background panel that I stamped with MFT pinstripes in natural ink twice to create the small grid pattern.




For the tag portion, I used the die from Blueprints Tag Builder 3.  I stamped it with simply circles and embossed in white.  I lightly watercolored  factory green and summer splash inks.  I layered this tag with the Stitched Speech Bubbles at the top.  I die cut the smaller tag from Blueprints 2.  I stamped the sentiment from The Whole Herd at the bottom.  Then, I die cut my little piggies and dot colored with copics.   I added some black twine with tiny clothespin and finished the tag with a white embossed sentiment from the same set.  I added some loose thread and a few sequins and the card with tag was complete.

As always thanks so much for stopping by!
