Hambo Hoedown - Pig Inmate digi
This week's image for the Hambo Hoedown progressive challenge was the Pig Inmate digi stamp. We were also challenged to use twine, jute or some other fiber, but it could NOT be ribbon. So, I used My Mind's Eye Lime Twist twine to create the bars on the jail cell. I used my Nestabilities scalloped rectangle for the mat for the image which, coincidentally, gave me the perfect "grooves" to wrap my twine and get perfectly straight lines. Unfortunately, I was not smart enough to plan it that way - it just happened! The sentiment on the front of the card has a layer that I created with my Stampin' Up scalloped circle punch. To me the card looks a bit stark without any patterned paper, but jail is kind of stark and bare after all, right?!

ReplyDeleteAllison, I just came back over to look at everybody's cards. I'm so behind this week! I love love yours! The solid dark background really makes the foreground POP! Love the baker's twine jail bars. I don't like the twine I found; it's so flimsy and separates.
ReplyDeleteSo fun! Good use of twine for the jail cell bars- great idea! Thanks for playing with us this week at the Hoedown!
