Pig me up

A friend's dad died a week before Christmas so its been a rough holiday for her. I thought I'd take her to lunch and this card would be perfect to lift her spirits. What an adorable, you gotta smile when you see him, pig! I used two sets from Doodle Pantry, the sentiment is from Precious Piglet and the image is from Mud Piggy.

I can't believe it, the day's finally here!! This is my first post for the challenge blog of Clearly Delightful sponsored by Doodle Pantry. I've had this card done and ready for days just waiting for today, lol! All of the new Doodle Pantry images are sooo sweet, especially this precious piglet, isn't she adorable! I did this for a friend who needed a little pick me up and that's what's on the inside of the card, almost. It says "Thought you could use a little pig me up". She is going to LOVE it! I watercoloured the piglet so I'd have more control over the colours. I haven't done watercolours for ages, I need to do it more often.
