Posted by Gemma Campbell | Jun 30, 2021 | Uncategorized

The Hello Bluebird pigs are some of my favourite critters. As there are lots of great images to choose from, I decided to create a card with four seasonal pigs. My card base is 5.25 inches square. I’m really enjoying square card bases at the moment and this format works well for the four scenes I’m creating. I used a square die set from my stash to die cut four white card squares. On each of the squares, I used distress oxide inks to add colour to represent each of the seasons. All my pigs are coloured with copic...
