Bellarific Friday- Parker the Superpiggy!

Heeeeey! It's Friday so that can only mean one thing- Bellarific Friday Challenge! Yay!

This week's challenge was a sketch...


As I was making a male card I decided to go pretty simple with the sketch. I've used Parker the Superpiggy coloured with copics. I've used a mixture of the Dienamics Flags Stax and Banner Stax and also the Speech Bubble die.  Sentiment (love the typewriter font!) accompanies Parker. Added some enamel dots to finish. 


Close up of Piggy! I was trying to go for a watercolour effect- did it work?!


Here was your sketch for this week.


Next week's challenge is this inspiration photo! Love the colours on this!
