Sky Pig

Hello Nomad friends.  It's the second of the month so time for the Card Chain Challenge Reveal.  This card is also being showcased at the Lost Coast Portal to Creativity where this month we are all about FUNNY.  I have used this wonderful sentiment from Carmen's Veranda more than once on my Card Chain Challenge cards and this pig suited the farm animal option, so win-win.  


Funny wasn't one of the Card Chain Challenge options, but I did want to use clouds and this sentiment for friendship, so a flying pig seemed a reasonable idea to go with the farm animal option.  I also hit the fussy cut option, so not quite the whole hog, but covering quite a few options this month LOL.
For the background I fussy cut a scrap of paper into a cloudline shape and simply blended distress ink on my card base.  I stamped the sentiment directly onto the inked cardbase and then stamped the Flying Pig on a piece of card, coloured with distress markers, fussy cut and glued him in the sky.   Then I sent this card to Gail in Canada as part of the Card Chain Challenge international card exchange.
 
If you would like to see the whole REVEAL there were 24 awesome artists sending amazing cards flying around the world this month.

If you are stamping something funny you have all month to share your funny stamped anythings at the Lost Coast Portal to Creativity challenge.
 
Thanks for dropping by.  Hugz

I love the fact he’s wearing a flying helmet and goggles Gail and your cloudy background looks fabulous! I have a plan for LCD this month once I’ve got a couple of “must makes” out of the way.
