My submission for todays inspiration challenge. I was inspired by this cake: http://cakenouveau.com/cakes3.html When Pigs Fly. (Third row down, third cake from the right)
I was inspired by the pig of course, the colours, the clouds and the little butterfly.
I used my NEW stamps from ClearDollar Stamps: Farm Critters.
I paper toled the piggy's head and snout. I tried my hand at sponging clouds for my sky. I think my little piggy is looking at his butterfly friend...and wishes he could fly too!
Thanks for looking.

OH Gloria this is aaaadoooorrrrabbble. I just love the way you stamped the pig. It gives it such a realistic look. My dad raised pigs when we were little. Hated those smelly chores before school but I sure do love pigs. Great scene you created. Super job...
