AALL & Create: Piggy Bank

Hello!

For my AALL & Create guest post this week I have made a Piggy Bank. The Piggy Bank started out as a wooden money box from the kiddies craft section of a local store.

The front:

I used the fabulous Janet Klein stamps for my focal images and for the ephemera flowers and grasses, along with a stencil from Autour de Mwa to make the stonework for the building. The roof is made from scalloped 'tiles' which are really a border stamp in one of Janet Klein's sets, #300 The Adventurer.

The back:


Sides:

Step by Step:

1.  Gesso the bare wooden money box.

2.  Remove the roof. Apply modelling paste through #55 Crazy Paving stencil.

3. Colour with paints and add shading with NeoColour II crayons.

4. Stamp the scalloped border from set #300 Look Cute several times with Vintage Photo onto kraft card.

5. Fussy cut the scalloped borders and glue to the roof, overlapping each layer.

6.  Stamp and colour the piggies from stamp set #345 Bacon.

7.  Stamp grass and flowers from #296 Wild and Free, colour and fussy cut.

8. Stamp flower from set #297 Simple but Significant and the bunny from set #354 Bunny and Bunnies; colour and fussy cut.

9. Adhere all images to the walls of the Piggy Bank. Add the printed words 'Piggy Bank' to a frame and attach. Glue roof back onto walls.
