Welcome to another edition of Slimline Sunday.

Today’s card design was inspired by playing along to a couple of challenges.

Double Trouble #211 with their 3, 2, 1 challenge of use at least 3 layers not including the card base so I have a mat of blue, green and white, 2 colours I have yellow, blue and green with a splash of pink for the piggy  and 1 image with my little piggy to go with the Twisted Sister 3 additional challenge to use pigs in the design. Twisted Sister 2 and the additional challenge is to use the Try a Sketch on Tuesday. #TSOT690

My colour palette is thanks to the CAS colours & sketch challenge - #580 I tweaked the shades and used Lemon Lolly, Secret Sea and Old Olive. 

Another round with the Festive Friday St. Patrick’s Day #FF0204 with some green, yellow, green gems and gold twine.

I’m playing with a the Lovely Blossoms DSP, Greetings for All ephemera pack, Modern Oval punch, Secret Sea, Old Olive and Lemon Lolly blends and retired This Little Piggy stamp set, BOHO Chic embossing folder, unbranded gold twine and pearl gems coloured with Old Olive blends. 

Came together as an adorable congratulations card for someone was told they couldn’t do something until pigs could fly 🤣

Love the paper - so fun to colour!
