Creative Tuesdays - Pig

Happy Canada Day to all the Canadians!  It's a public holiday here, celebrating Canada's 147th birthday.  It's a 'young' country.

It's time for Creative Tuesdays' 'Pig' theme! I bought this pad of textured cardstock on sale and am very pleased with it. Here is my first piece using this paper. There are about 5 different coloured textured backgrounds I can choose from. The pigs are coloured with acrylic paint.

HaHa, I've never been "mooned" by three pigs. They do have cute little butts!!!

The Three Little Pigs look as though they are pondering their fate - 'maybe if we don't eat so much and don't put on anymore weight we can hang around the farm a little bit longer'
Hope you enjoyed your special day :)
Oh, and yes young Nick id do well didn't he - here's hoping he plays as well in his next match. Fingers and ties crossed for him!!

Such cute little piggies, I hope they have a long and happy life playing in the mud and getting to visit the other farm animals :D

So cute! I'm pattern-obsessed these days but I could totally see this repeating as a bolt fabric or wallpaper. Fab job!
