When Pigs Fly #2

4/15/2016 Update: The "Pig" card won a top three at the theme challenge.



A while ago I received a sheet of crazy paper with a sheet of coordinating designs as a gift from a scrapbooking shopkeeper. I've made a card once before using the paper and when I saw the Cut It Up Theme Challenge #93, I decided to use it again.

The challenge theme is April Fool's Day and runs from April 1 through April 13. The project must include something of humor or a joke and at least one die cut. (The three small clouds on my card are die cuts.) I was also forced to eat four little chocolate bars in order to have the labels for my card.

I promise to give up chocolate!   (When pigs fly.)

On a white card base, the DSP panels were adhered. The large cloud was cut freehand to look like a large cloud and to feature the "When Pigs Fly" theme. The cloud was matted with cardstock and popped up with foam tape. The pig was  fussy cut and also popped up with foam tape. The foil labels were adhered to scraps of cardstock for stability and then popped up on the card as well. The three little clouds were die cut and adhered. The sentiment was computer generated and the cardstock cut into a banner. The inside of the card was decorated by adhering a strip of cardstock and a strip of DSP.
