The 14th birthday card is for Alexis, whose favorite animal has always been pigs and favorite color is orange. That is the fun of paper crafting, you can make the card very personal. So I dug out the retired large numbers dies, (I won't ever part with a classic like them) stamped some pigs, and since each pig image has a sentiment on it I used a Post-It to cover the sentiment as I inked the stamp. Then remove the post-it before stamping and look mom, no words! I used blends to color the images, added the banner made from the Label Me Bold stamp set. I decided to balance the black with the grass from Friendly Silhouettes dies, but that had cat tails, so I just trimmed them off with snips. Wiggly bugs dies have grass, but I don't own those! This card took about 45 minutes. I knew the layout I was using because it was the splitcoaststampers sketch for this week. (SC802) I like to have an idea of a layout sometimes, there are less decision to make as I'm creating. I added some bling.
