Happy Monday Challenge card-Shirley


Happy Monday Everyone!
Today I used a brand new, just released April 1, image called 'Swinging By' from Deedee's Digis. I was so excited when Dee released her to the team. I knew then I wanted to color her the color of a red hog. She reminds me of my first 4H market hog, Shirley. I colored this sweet piggy with Water Color Wonder Crayons from SU, in Bravo Burgundy.

Check out the challenge this week:
Do you love patterns? Most of us crafters do, and we spend a lot of time (and sometimes a lot of money, too!) collecting all sorts of tools to create them on our projects. This week we want you to create something combining some classic patterns:  polka dots, checks, and stripes! You can use any combination of these on your project this week. For all of the information: The Happy Monday Challenge with Deedee's Digis

Adorable, Lori! The watercoloring gives the image such a soft, sweet look, and I like how you used your polka dots and stripes. You know, this little piggie is now going to forever be "Shirley" in my mind -- LOL! What a wonderful memory, and thank you for sharing! :-)
