Bubble Pigs

Posted on June 5, 2014 6:48 PM by Julie 4 Comments

Well, today’s Ways to Use It (WT482) Challenge on Splitcoast is Let the Sunshine In! So I’m thinking a sunshine greeting will work along with these silly pigs and their bubbles. When I first rec’d these images, I thought, oh cute! Then I started coloring them. Pigs are a little tough because it’s a challenge to get the color right. Bubbles are hard. So many colors and they need to be transparent. Pigs IN a bubble are ridiculous! But I tried. Actually the one pig isn’t really in the bubble on the image…there’s grass underfoot. I’m the idiot that put him inside the bubble. Oh well. Live and learn.

After I stamped the pig blowing the bubbles, I extended the grass a bit then did my “into the window” technique. It’s like out of the box, but it goes the other direction. I die cut a circle just big enough to put the other pig inside and colored it to hopefully look like a bubble. Added the lavender layer and a few enamel accent dots. The finished card is 5.50 x 4.25 and these are the Copics I used.

Thanks so much for stopping by! If you haven’t yet, please check out the DRS Thursday Challenge. This week, make a pet themed card. DRS images are not required so head on over.

A big congrats to Jeannie, the newest Featured Stamper (FS378) on Splitcoast! She has a wonderful gallery full of color and beautiful coloring! It was hard to choose, put I fell in love with THIS card and decided to Case it. I love the triple panels with the image in different places so I kept that. But I used different images, left off a few layers and had to move my greeting because of its size.

I stamped the palm tree & hula pig in the center panel and the dancing pig & palm tree in the other 2. I colored them w/ Copics and added some white highlights on the water w/ a white gel pen & the surf w/ Copic opaque paint. I made the center panel a little wider and longer than the other two. I used the splatter bg w/ the white & sand inks to add a little texture to the sand. Part of the greeting was stamped on the tan textured panel & the rest was stamped on a little die cut oval.

The finished card is 5.50 x 4.25 and these are the Copics I used.
