Double D Challenge: Baa-Cluck-Moo-Neigh-Oink-Quack (Any or All)

Hello everyone!  I'm back with another Double D challenge today, playing along with Diane's theme:  Baa-Cluck-Moo-Neigh-Oink-Quack (Any or All).  I mean, really, how fun is that theme?  I love it!  Check out the mood board:




My card has a baa, an oink, and a couple of quacks.  Also a woof, a squeak, a chirp, and that goofy sound a goat makes when it waggles its tongue at you.  I used an old woodblock Art Impressions stamp which I don't think has a name on it, but I'm going to call it Farm Animals.  I colored with Copics, fussy cut, and used lots of dies, a brick wall stencil, and a bit of designer paper to make a house front and window.

See how the window appears to be lifted open.  Just some cutting and layering of the die at work there.  I wonder what's so interesting inside?  This is a lucky pig to have such good friends helping him out.



The stamp is a two part affair -- one for the back and one for the front -- so you see the following when you open the card:



You can reverse and put the face on the front of the card and the other inside, but after going to all this trouble I definitely wanted most of it on the front.  I don't know if Art Impressions still makes these front and back stamps.

A random prize winner gets the following very fun stamp:




What a deal!  The team also votes for creative favorites.  Be sure to visit the Double D blog and check out how much fun the team had with this theme.  I sure hope we'll see your card in the gallery!

Enjoy your day!


Supplies:  Too numerous to list (sheesh) and mostly retired -- 2 stamps, 6 dies, 1 stencil, decorative edge scissors, designer paper, cardstock, on and on and on...

This is so cute! Love the front and back. It kind of reminds me of Charlotte's web with the farm animals and pig. So creative with the window die.

So stinkin' cute, Leslie! Love how these barnyard animals are helping Mr. Pig peek in the window. And that window...totally rocks how you've opened it from outside to inside. Lots of detail and texture on this card. I am so happy to have you and your inspiration back with us at the Double D. Hope your family is well.

Oh my GOSH, Leslie. This just could NOT be any cuter, I am smiling all over my face. I think the icing on the cake is that little bird holding up the pig's TAIL!!! What a hoot, I adore that stamp and wish I could get my hands on it. Your design is just wonderful here, well done!!!

Ha, this is such fun and well worth all that effort with those dies. Well done for using an older stamp, they deserve to have outings now and again. so much detail and craftsmanship in this one - brilliant xx
