The M.C. Escheresque background paper is a digital printout of a black and white flying pig that I found on a free website many years ago #10 years at least# and have saved since. #You can tell that I have always had an affinity for flying pigs#.
The base card is a quality 200gr paper bought at a Stationary store here in Switzerland.
The stamp was purchased from Rubber Hedgehog stamps. I stamped it on the same white paper as the base. I used foam pop-dots to raise the stamped image on the diamond.
The piggy is colored using pencils from my pencil jar #a very diverse and often unlabelled bunch of color.# I used a gel pen to write the sentiment as I didn't have a stamp that seemed appropriate.
I hope that Sean will have a speedy remission and will find the same joy of life that another young man I know did after battling cancer!
Thanks for looking and do think of those people in your lives who need encouragement.

Hello and welcome Patricia! This is a wonderful teaparty card and a super way to give encouragement to Sean. I love flying pigs too. I celebrate National Pig Day every March 1st with a flying pig card that I send to my "pig ladies" to give them inspiration. I just love this!

Fantastic card for this week's teapot challenge. Your flying pig - great sentiment - is certain to bring a smile to Sean. Love that cracker card technique - will have to give it a try.
