Playing with some of my new MFT stamps - aren't these little piggies just the cutest ever? This card will be added to my "Send a Smile" stash for the nursing home.
Stamped, die cut and colored the pigs, fence, flowers and bow. (Tip, for added stability, I die cut the full pig "back," and used glossy accents to to layer the head, slipping the fence in between the layers. For the other pig, I cut 2 extras, one layer behind the colored one, but in front of the fence and one behind the fence.)
Stamped the dot border (SU) in Pear Tart ink. Stamped Hello.
I had a white Bazzill and a black SU circle die cut from another project. Layered them and sponged soft pool ink over the white one.
Assembled my little scene (small partial pop-dot under the right side of the flowers for stability), and did the final embellishing:
- Wink of Stella on pigs and flowers
- Glossy accents on snouts and flower centers
- White Gel Pen for freckles
- Increased eyes with Copic Multiliner
TFL!

Oh my gosh I 'd love to watch you design, Debbie. I have a profound respect for people who copic color so beautifully and know which markers they used! By the time I'm done I have a table full of them. No clue what was used where. Your shading and blending is impeccable! What an adorable card!
