"Porridge The Pretty Piggy" Card - My first EIO DT Card! Woot woot!



Hello All!
I am very excited because this is my first official project for Embellish-Online.com!
I had this cute little Sugar Nellie stamp already colored up from about a year ago. I love to color so I have done way more images then I have made cards for! LOL! I have a whole drawer of them just waiting to be used on a card! Any who...Barb from Embellish-Online.com sent me my first box of DT goodies and when I saw the pretty Pink Paislee-"Cupid Collection" papers, I instantly thought of this image. The colors were PERFECT!

The piggy is popped several times then glittered and shined. I added some flowers that I punched out of the same paper, some punched leaves, some stitching, and that pretty May Arts - 1" satin ribbon  also from Embellish-Online.com.

That reminds me....Embellish-Online.com has a special going on right now! For every $5.00 in American Crafts products you purchase, you will receive a spool of American Crafts Ribbon FREE! (while supplies last) Can't beat that deal with a wet noodle!
