365 cards sunday sketch challenge

Wow it has been 3 days since I've posted. Eek!!! Unfortunately our little boy was rather fluish. Gotta love clean up duty, when you are a mother. But I wouldn't trade it in. Here is the card for 365 Cards Sunday Sketch challenge. When I saw this sketch one thing and one thing only came to mind. So I went with it. Now I'm showing you that I can be versatile. HONEST!!! Here is the sketch
When I took one first glance at this sketch, all I could see was a piggy snout, so I went with it. I used Glorious Green and Pretty in Pink for the cardstock, as well as kraft that I inked the edges with a few colorbox inks (peppermint and pink). I offset the kraft pieces to give a bit of visual appeal. Then I found a cute little gold rimmed pink button for the nose, cut a couple of Prima flowers for the ears, and drew in the eyes and mouth with black LePlume marker. Adding just a touch of white souffle marker to each. I finished off the project with a pink ribbon and a light green fibre strand. Using my Just right stamp for the very first time to make the sentiment and VOILA! Happy as a pig...


Hope you like the card. I will post the next one in a few.
Happy Crafting
