Barnyard Babies Hogs and Kisses

Now for something a little different.  We've been doing Halloween, Fall and Christmas, so I thought I'd break it up a bit with something soft and different.

I spotted this concept on Brian King's Blog and fell in love with the Hogs and Kisses as much as the colors.  I believe Brian used Blushing Bride and Basic Gray, but I wanted Pink Pirouette and Smoky Slate.

Both cards start with a Whisper White Thick Cardstock (140272) 

Base - 8 1/2" x 5 1/2" scored at 4 1/4"

The "dotted" layer is also the same sizes on both:

  Smoky Slate - 4 3/4" x 3 1/2" 

  Subtles Color Collection Pink Pirouette Dots (138437) - 4 5/8" x 3 3/8"

The rest of the Recipe for 3 piggy card above.

Smoky Slate - 4 3/8" x 2 3/8"

Whisper White - 4 1/4" x 2 1/4
Pink Pirouette - 4 1/4" x 1 5/8"

Smoky Slate - 4 1/4" x 1 1/4"

Remaining Recipe for 3 1/2 piggy card above:

Smoky Slate - 5 1/8" x 2 3/8"

Whisper White - 5" x 2 1/4
Pink Pirouette - 5" x 1 5/8"

Smoky Slate - 5" x 1 1/4"

Using Smoky Slate ink, stamp the piggy onto Whisper White cardstock and stamp again onto Pink Pirouette cardstock.

Punch the white piggy with the 1 1/4" Circle Punch and Fussy Cut the Pink Piggy - you will cut off his pink piggy tail but it will line up with the white one when you glue it down.

1 1/4" Circle Punch - Whisper White 

1 3/4" Scallop Circle - Pink Pirouette

1 3/8" Circle Punch - Smoky Slate

I like the 3 piggy card best.  I didn't like stamping a half of a pig on the first attempt! 

Thank you for looking in today - have a safe Halloween tonight and don't let the little goblins eat too much candy!
