St. Patty's Day Pig

A St. Patrick's Day pig? That's right! I made this cute little pig, who is all set to celebrate St. Patrick's Day! The card is 5 1/2"x4 1/4." I made it from a shimmery dark green cardstock. I then cut some green argyle patterned paper at 5 1/4"x4" and layered it on. I cut some glittery green cardstock at 5 1/2"x2." I then used an EK Success border punch along the bottom edge. I layered that with a piece of green polka dotted patterned paper, cut at 5 1/2"x1 1/4." My little pig is actually Hamm, from Toy Story. He is cut at 2." I then used my Gypsy to cut the hat, which came from A Child's Year. The hat was cut at 1.40." I also used my Gypsy so I could get the right size for the shamrock, which was cut at .60" from Give a Hoot. I used pop-dots to adhere Hamm to the card base. I stamped my sentiment, which is from My Pink Stamper, in pearlescent ivy ink by Tsukineko. I found the gold shamrock in my button stash and thought it was perfect. I then finished it off with two types of green bling.
