Allsorts Challenge ~ Keep It Simple

Sarah has chosen the theme of  'Keep it Simple' for the Allsorts Challenge this week.  You can always choose to use the Anything Goes option if you prefer.  With Easter next weekend, this challenge will be running for two weeks.

A simple masculine card today for a friend who loves pigs.  I used a set of dies from the Creative Expressions 'Farmyard Residents' set to make the pig.  The sentiment is a  Memory Box 'Grand Happy Birthday' die, cut in grey card and attached to the card blank.  I used the die again in pink card and inlaid the 'waste' letters into the letters in the grey card.  As this was a card for a man, I decided not to add any other embellishments.  The pig was from a preloved set of dies I bought recently.  As I used it for the first time, I'll be sharing my card in the NBUS Challenge.

Prizes are from Highlight Crafts  Stamp Addicts.

I am joining in the following challenges:

  4. What a charming and clever design for a masculine card! The pig die from the Creative Expressions set adds a playful touch, and the inlaid sentiment technique with the Memory Box die is a great detail. Your decision to keep it simple without additional embellishments makes it perfect for a man.
