Base
1.Cut a 5-1/2″ x 8-1/2″ piece of whisper white cardstock and fold it in half. This is your base.
Stampin Up Watercolor Pencils #141709
2.Cut a 5-1/4″ x 4″ piece of Stampin Up Watercolor Paper. This is for your background.
3.Using the Daffodil Delight watercolor pencil to add color to your watercolor paper.
Tip: Use the side of your watercolor pencil to add color to your watercolor paper. If you’d like darker shades of color, then apply a bit more pressure when adding color.
4. Use an aqua painter to blend the daffodil delight colored background.
Tip: If your watercolor paper is warped from the water, then carefully heat it using a heat tool. It only takes a couple of seconds for it to flatten back out.
5. Using multipurpose adhesive to center and adhere your watercolor paper to the top of your card base.
6. Next, wrap your thick white bakers twine around your card and tie a decorative bow.
Happy Pig
1. Cut a 3-1/4″ x 3-1/2″ piece of daffodil delight cardstock. This is the bottom layer for your image.

3. Cut a 2-3/4″ x 3″ piece of whisper white cardstock. This piece is for your image.
Tip: Stamp your image and color it before adhering this piece to your tangerine tango cardstock.
4. Using an archival black ink pad to stamp your image. Let it sit for a second or two to be sure it’s dry.
5. Using your watercolor pencils to add color to your image.
Tip: I used Old Olive for the ground and flower stem, Melon Mambo for the pig, and Tangerine Tango for the flower.
6. Once your image is colored, center and adhere it to your tangerine tango cardstock.
7. Use stampin dimensionals to adhere your image to your card front.

Really love this card!
I love pig stamps…they to make me happy…
I love this stamp set. I made several of the cards using different paper in my background.. I stamped the image on the white card stock, colored with pencils and then cut out another pig in pink paper, added foam dots and attached over the stamped image. I left the wings clear and colored them with Wink-a-Stella clean ink. so pretty…
Hi Brandy, love your piggy cards! You’re right, just looking at them makes me happy! How sweet of you to mentor a young woman, and the encouraging card is just adorable!
Very cute card, Brandy!
Hope all is well with you and your family.
