I stamped the pig four times on pink cardstock and popped up the whole face, then the ears and the snout! The card is pretty silly but I think pretty cute too! Whatcha think?

Sow's Life?
Hello! Today I stamped out a couple more wood mounted stamps I recently purchased from Inky Antics and yes, you guessed right, one is a pig! And, of course, I had to make it a pink pig! I do have one quick story to tell you before I show you my card. After I finished, or at least I thought I had finished my card, I came in to watch a little t.v. and remembered that I had cut off the pig's tail when I cut out the pig and I forgot to add one. It reminded me of when I was a kid. You see my mom signed me up for an acting workshop at Casa Manana, a theatre in Fort Worth. At the end of the workshop, we did a play called the Christmas Pig and I was the pig. I didn't have a lot of lines, if any ... I guess they knew acting was not in my future! Anyway, the part I do remember is that they had me wear pink pajamas and they were supposed to have a paper tail for me. Well, they forgot my tail! A little dejavu? Thanks for letting me share this silly childhood story! As far as my pig tail on my card, I went back to my room and looked and looked for some pink wire which I never found. I decided to go with some mizuhiki paper cord - perfect! Here is my card with my pig and her tail!
Oh Tina...
ReplyDeleteI love your story and your card! Those types of things always happened to me in childhood and now, too. I miss your store everyday, even though I live in Houston! At least I could visit once in a while and take classes. Hope you are doing well!

I love your pig. My daddy always raised pigs to pigs have a special place in my heart. You are always so entertaining. I love to read your daily updates.
