Ham It Up on Your Birthday

Here's my card for this week's My Favorite Things Wednesday Sketch Challenge.  I'm still having fun with the cute Hog Heaven set, so I used it to make this birthday card.

The dancing piggie was colored with Copic markers, then carefully cut out by hand. I used foam tape to adhere it to a kraft pierced circle die cut.  The die cut was layered on to a yellow rounded edge rectangle.  I stamped the "ham it up on your birthday" sentiment just beneath the piggie.  After matting the panel on pink cardstock, I adhered a pair of fishtail flag strips to the back, letting them extend just beyond the rectangle's edges.  The rectangle was adhered to a yellow card base covered with a multicolored plaid panel, using foam tape for dimension.

Materials Used:
Hog Heaven stamp set, Bubblegum cardstock, Die-namics Fishtail Flag STAX, Fishtail Flag Layers STAX, and Pierced Circle STAX dies (My Favorite Things); Memento Tuxedo Black ink (Tsukineko/IMAGINE Crafts); markers (Copic); Hawaiian Shores and Kraft cardstock (Papertrey Ink); Barely Banana cardstock (Stampin' Up!); Life Is Beautiful 6x6 paper pad (Fancy Pants); corner rounder; foam tape
