Well, todayÂ’s Ways to Use It Challenge is Let the Sunshine In! So IÂ’m thinking a sunshine greeting will work along with these silly pigs and their bubbles. When I first recÂ’d these images, I thought, oh cute! Then I started coloring them. Pigs are a little tough because itÂ’s a challenge to get the color right. Bubbles are hard. So many colors & they need to be transparent. Pigs IN a bubble are ridiculous! But I tried. Actually the one pig isnÂ’t really in the bubble on the imageÂ…thereÂ’s grass underfoot. IÂ’m the idiot that put him inside the bubble. Oh well. Live and learn.
After I stamped the pig blowing the bubbles, I extended the grass a bit then did my “into the window” technique. It’s like out of the box , but it goes the other direction. I die cut a circle just big enough to put the other pig inside & colored it to hopefully look like a bubble. Added the lavender layer & a few enamel accent dots.
Thanks so much for looking! Closeups & the colors of Copics I used are on my blog: The Write Stuff

OMGosh.....I would just love to know how your brain works....I just love this, but know that I would not be creative enough to even think of it, never mind try to execute it......that is why you inspire me, my friend
Oh my goodness, Julie - this is just adorable and clever to the max! And it will definitely bring sunshine and laughter - with that piglet in the bubble!

Although we have never met, I know I love your spunk and spirit. When I saw this on facebook, I just loved it immediately. Love how you put this together. I reveals the part of your personality I know I already love.
