Parachute Piggy The Freebie this month is this cute image of a pig parachuting and since I am on a roll this week with Christmas cards it had be a card to add to the pile. I printed the image twice, one for the base panel and one to colour and fussy cut. The base panel was cut to 5 ins and I masked an area at the bottom for the snow bank and used distress inks for the sky.

Happy Birthday The challenge this week was to use geometric shapes and I choose the safe old square as this is usually the format I use to make my cards.

Stamped happy birthday from Papertrey Ink  and it was done. Copics: Flower: N1,3,5,Y13,19,38. Leaves: YG23,45,G46. Background: C0,1,3,5. The image is one I never used and don't know who the artist is. If anyone does please let me know so I can acknowledge them.
