This week I’m trying to get back into making cards for the challenges I enjoy.  I made two cards like this one today – one for Hope You Can Cling To and one for Operation Write Home.

Lydia’s Hope You Can Cling To challenge to create a card with a pink animal on it was the original driving force behind this card.  I thought about doing something cute like a bunny, but the realist in me overruled so I ended up choosing a pig for my pink animal.  I used the sketch from the SCS CAS challenge #138 for the layout.

The hay bale has a cardstock shim underneath it to give it some lift up off the background.  The pig is attached with pop dots to give some more dimension.  The Primas give a bit of dimension too.  Those ideas were inspired by the current Lawnscaping challenge.

So that’s what I’ve been up to today.  Thanks for stopping by!
