Missing You Pig Time (DTC 176)

It's the fifth Monday in September so it's Double Trouble's Something, Anything, Everything one-week challenge. This is Challenge #176, beginning on Monday, September 30, 2024, and ending on Sunday, October 6, 2024. 

For this challenge, I am partnering with The Crafter's Cafe. Their Challenge #312 is open from Sunday, September 15, 2024, through Saturday, October 12, 2024. The theme is "Include an Animal".

For specific guidelines and details, consult the Double Trouble Blog regarding their three "Things" but here is a summary:

As Twisted Sister observes National Mud Pack Day on Monday, September 30, she is hoping to see at least one pig on your project and/or use pink and brown colors. You are free to use other colors as well. I used both the pig and pink and brown colors. This is an optional twist.

To create my card, the image was stamped, colored with alcohol markers, and fussy-cut. The card was assembled onto a Kraft-type card base using additional die-cut elements. A sentiment was stamped and adhered and a few pink gem stickers were added. The inside was lined with a panel of white cardstock and decorated with scrap paper. 

I left my desk for a while and upon returning discovered the sentiment strips I had stamped and glued together earlier were missing. After a search, they were found on the top level of the cat's condo - crinkled - but I used them anyway. There is no mystery as to how the strips went missing!

Thank you for dropping by and leave a comment if you wish.
