"Bacon" In The Sun!




Happy Sunday everyone!  Today I have a fun card to share that combines two super cute images by Bugaboo Stamps -- Fried Chicken and Bacon in the Sun.  Although it's hard to see in the photo, both the chicken and pig were paper-pieced digitally with dotted paper from Polka Dot Parade by MDS/SU!.  The cloud background is from My Graficio.  Coloring was done with Copics as well as Photoshop Elements.  A scattering of sand was glued to the base of the images. 

This card was inspired by some wonderful challenges:
Catch the Bug Challenge  -- July Photo Inspiration
613 Avenue Create Challenge #82 -- Anything Goes with optional use a sentiment
Crafty Calendar Challenge for July -- Summertime Fun
Chocolate, Coffee & Cards Challenge #70 -- Polka Dots
Fairytale Challenge #96 -- Digistamp Super Challenge
Wag n' Whiskers Challenge 134 -- Polka Dots

Hope everyone has a wonderful week; thanks so much for stopping by!

    A cute card Pat - I like that you glued down sand on this! I have not seen anyone paper piece an animal before - so out of the box - good for you! Thank you so much for sharing your fun project & creativity at our house!

    Your card is funny! I adore all of it! The sentiment is perfect. I really like how you use the tiny polka dot paper for their bodies. It added a sort of 3D effect! Awesome!
