Happy Friday friends!!! Squeal!!! It’s Amanda from Twiddler’s Nook today and I’m so excited that it’s Friday and I can see the weekend coming! We have had a dreary week with cloudy days and rain bursts throughout and I needed a little happy and rainbows! So I’m here today with some happy and rainbows! I hope you like it.
Isn’t this piggy and his rainbow just the cutest?!? I love the polka dot background too! I think it add just the perfect something.
To create my card, I started by using the rainbow dies with my favorite “sherbet” rainbow cardstock colors. (If you know me, then you know this means we’ll be having 5 more wonky colored rainbow cards coming soon because I love mixing and matching the layers!) I used tape runner on a piece of copy paper and taped my rainbow to it. Then I trimmed it down, die cut a couple of clouds and glued them to the ends.
Next, I stamped and colored my piggy from Pig Time with copic markers, then used the coordinating dies to cut him out. I die cut a large sentiment strip the perfect length and stamped a sentiment from Pig Time on it.
I cut a piece of teal cardstock and ran it through my die cutter with the Let’s Polka embossing folder and glued it to a white card base with EZ Squeeze liquid adhesive. Then I added foam squares to the back of my rainbow, pig and sentiment banner and popped them in place.
Moving on to finishing touches, I added glossy accents to my balloon and star dust Stickles to the pig’s cheeks and the clouds on the rainbow. Last but not least, I added a scattering of Unicorn Pearls across the design.
