For the Inspiration Challenge, Angie chose really cute place w/ a big heart. I chose THIS as my inspiration because I knew I had a similar greeting. I didn't have a similar cute reindeer that I could use so I used a pig w/ a big grin.
Normally, this pig image has a party hat along w/ a balloon but since I fussy cut him, I cut off the party hat. The small balloon was stamped again w/ lt blue ink, colored & fussy cut. All the other balloons were made by die cutting 2 sizes of balloons in a piece of copy paper & using the negative as a stencil. After I sponged the Distress inks thru the stencil I added some Wink of Stella to some of them. The greeting was stamped at the bottom & I used Copics to make the shadow underneath. A few grad caps & some drawn balloon strings & I was done.
Thanks so much for looking. Closeups, the inside & Copic colors are on my blog: The Write Stuff

Ha....that piggie is just too cute and I love your sparkly balloons. Super sentiment, too, and I like how you added the shadow. Your card couldn't be any cuter.

Great sentiment on the inspiration piece, and great balloons. I can't even begin to tell you how funny I found the pig and his smile!! Terrific fun card inspired by the reindeer, but so much better with the pig. The graduate who receives this card will LOVE it!!!
