KSS: June Hailey's gift

This past weekend, Bella had a birthday party. I like to give unique gifts along with the regular store bought goodie. I have a stash of these little piggies and I used some alcohol inks (Red Pepper (Tuscan Garden) and Wild Plum (Nature walk) {available at Eclectic Paperie - HERE
These inks are awesome - one of the best craft investments I have made. I was able to use those inks to create a mesh of color, not too red, not too magenta. I used the flowers from Hey Chick {Kitchen Sink Stamps}. I also used Mix It Up! Alphabet (also KSS) to stamp Hailey's name on the pig. I went over the sweet spots with a copic marker (on the chisel edge). I also went over the petals of the flower just slightly. I added random dots to the pig to give it some style. What pig doesn't look good in polkadots?

I made the card to match the pig, althought the dots in the designer paper are chocolate chip (as is the main card base). I used the close to cocoa ink for the Happy and Friend and the Birthday is Pixie Pink. I also used the flowers from Happy Birthday Cupcake {Kitchen Sink Stamps}
The nestabilites come in handy when creating a main image. I used the scalloped circle for the chocolate, and a plain circle for the Whisper white. A little wide SU! grossgrain ribbon and some dimensionals pop the sentiment right up on the card. Simple card - very fun. There is some small bling in the center of each flower (courtesy of my sakura stardust).
