Welcome all to today's AWESOME Hambo Hop in celebration of our darling Judy's Birthday!!
But before the celebration begins, you should be arriving here from my friend Kris' blog. I KNOW she had something darling to share with you!!
Ok back to Judy's Birthday!! Today I've made a fun card using one of my VERY favorite Hambo Digital Designs - Artist Pig. I mean really...is there ANYTHING cuter!?!?! LOVE!
I printed my image onto Copic X-Press Blending paper and colored my Copics. I paper pieced the artist's smock and the paint palette. I did the entire coat first and then layered the palette over the entire coat/palette image to ensure the proper dimension.
I used papers from Bazzill and American Crafts. I just love how brads can anchor a panel! I've used silver and bitty blue brads. I trimmed my sentiment out using a set of Nesties and layered the bottom with solid turquoise cardstock and stitched to blend them together.
I used my very favorite MFT Heart Die-namic to add some extra love to this project made JUST for Judy!!
Ok off you scoot to my darling friend Carolina's blog to see what she's created for the birthday girl!!

Wow, you can't help but smile at such a happy card! I love all those dots -- kinda goes along with my "age spot" card too! LOL (Gosh, hope we don't give Judy a complex!) Great job Meredith!!
I love this Artist Pig so much! His pieced smock looks perfect! I really like the two-color stitched tag too! What a fun card, Meredith! Thank you so much for the surprise wishes!!
this is too fun...I love the sentiment...HAM-made..hehe
What a fun bright card. Love the colors you used and the stitching on the sentiment.
Love this colorful smock and love this image. I'm finding this to be irresistable. My stamping budget says "can't do!", but my creative impulsives say "gotta have!"
How cute, I love Pigcasso :)
Love this card! The paper piecing is spot on and the sewing is awesome!! How lucky Judy is with friends like you guys! I hope her birthday is FABULOUS!!!
You've done a great job with Pigcasso. The polka dot paper is perfect on his smock and for the background. I love how the sentiment is displayed. -BK

Oh my goodness, I love all your cards - you gave me inspiration with the watercolor paper and distress inks - gotta try that one! Luv all the cards - but the best is the caption: HAM-MADE ...
:)
A very smile-inducing card! I like the happy colors you chose :)
Love the pig, so cute! I had fun making a card with him too!
Thank you so very much. I think the artist pig is a great digital stamp and I am so glad that I was selected to receive this great stamp. It is going to be so fun to use. Thanks again. Kathy
