This is cor CC124 to use Pretty in Pink, Regal Rose and Olive. I had to throw in some brown 'cause I knew I had to do pigs for this challenge. I think I read on Jeanne's Inky Paws today that the colors made her think flowers. They made me think pigs. I know....I'm wierd.
I stamped the images and then sponged in browns for the ground and and olive for the field green area. I used my watercolor minis fern stamp to add texture and then then ketched in the thin little wirey fence around the vining greenery. I added regal flowers growing among the weeds and vines and sponed in the sky with a touch of bashful and banana. I just couldn't let it stop there and took it a bit over the edge by trying to add sopme mud puddles in the piggy area. I used my versa pen and ultra thick ep. I didn't get the puddle dark enogh with brown before I embossed them and so the puddles don't really look like they really should.
After uploading this and sitting here writing out this description I thought that I should have used the sentiment *Eat More Beef* instead of Tickled pink. Oh well.....oink oink!
