Before you think I have gone off the deep end, check this out . It's Mothermarks teapot Tuesday challenge.
I seem to always have to come in the backdoor at these parties. Hopefully my disguise will let me sneak in the front today. LOL She said if you brought a pig, you'd have to go in the back door and be checked for the swine flu. Yeah, like that's gonna happen!
I also fitted this card in for the Color Challenge. That's why there is soooooo much white here! It is driving me crazy!!!................quickly, here's what I did...........
Stamped my chicken, I mean pig. Added the beak mask and changed his curly tail into curly feathers with dots. Also put some booties on him that look like chicken feet. Don't let the disguise fool you, he really is a pig.
Added some rather large dots to his costume. All coloring was done with copic markers except the sponging around the squiggly circle, which was then doodled around making this a one layer card.
Well, hope you like my little pig in a chicken costume. Looking forward to some of Marilynn's lemon poppy seed muffins. WHICH reminds me, that little teapot pin you see up on the corner is from none other than MariLynn. She made the teapot partiers these special pins. Isn't it darling? Thanks so much MariLynn. You're a sweetie. ...................TFL :0)

Now that is a disguise!! Certainly will have some confused chickens when they see this pig coming. Think you will probably get to sit at the head of the table with this creation and probably that is where the plate of muffins will be. Thanks for the laugh.

OMG. This is the cutest pig/chicken I've ever seen. How dang clever of you. I love it, and if I can break away I want to come to this party too. Fabulous job.

So that's what they mean when they say: "When pigs fly!" But wait...chickens can't fly either. Hum, back to drawing board...
Love this neat picken! You got it going on, even put that little teapot pin too, I didn't put mine in. So cute and sweet of MariLynn. Okay about the tea, did you get any of it. Might want to watch your little friend, he might loose his dots after he has some. Oink, oink, I mean...wink...wink. Funny card Cathy! Feels good to be on the deep end no...I've always been there! LOL

Geeesh... This rocks the challenge. I love what you did with your little HOG. He will never make it past the chicks at the door. Well maybe he will if they have all had some of Mary Ann's spiked tea.. this is great Mutnik. I love your creativity. You don't even need stamps.

Oh MariLynn, how sweet is your pin and so kind of you, too.
Sweet card Nutmeg! Love the doodling and the chicken. Very very sweet. Are you off the bottle now or what?

SQUACK! I cry FOWL! This is tooo much, Cathy! How do you come up with these ideas? And I am jealous that you remembered MariLynn's cute pin in your photo...I just pm'd her that mine is hiding for safety from 2 sets of chickies hands that will claim it for their own...in fact, it is up high on my hutch next to the card you sent me awhile ago!
OK back to my comment, sheesh, that Mothermark is wearing off on me....I LOVE it, straight into my faves as a sure fire way to always make me smile!
