Hello fellow crafting friends. It's Bobbi Lemanski with a number of adorable piggies and one friendly gnome, named Fred! I'm sharing two cards with some special characters. I'm using the following new products from Picket Fence Studios:

• Big Piggie Hugs stamps and coordinating dies
• Friendly Fred the Gnome stamp set and coordinating dies
• Fabulously Glossy A2 Card Fronts - Spring Gardening
• Scene Building: A Tisket A Tasket Basket Die

Both of my cards below are 5" X 7" in size. The card bases are made from Neenah 80lb Classic Crest cardstock in Solar White.

Piggies in the Garden

For this card, I used a Fabulously Glossy A2 Card Fronts - Spring Gardening for the scene. This is a super easy way to create a fun look quickly. I make my cards, 5" X 7" so I cut the scene down to fit the top half of my card, leaving some needed white space below. It helps give the eyes a little rest since the scene it very full and active with these hard-working pigs!

Next, I stamped, colored and die cut all the cute pigs and veggies from the set, Big Piggie Hugs stamps and coordinating dies. I added some spots on the pigs for a little more character and uniqueness and colored their clothes to be "garden/farm" friendly. I stamped the sentiment - "homemade for you" - along with a little caterpillar on the side to complete this card. 

Fred the Friendly Gnome

I used another scene builder background from the Fabulously Glossy A2 Card Fronts - Spring Gardening set.  I added Fred, the gnome using the Friendly Fred the Gnome stamp set and coordinating dies. I colored the gnome, mushrooms and flowers using various Copic Sketch markers. For the mushrooms, I used R14, R22, R27, R29, and R46. For the basket, Scene Building: A Tisket A Tasket Basket Die. I used E59, E57, E55 and E53 to color the basket.

I added all the goodies, flowers and mushrooms to the basket. Finally, I added a sweet sentiment from the same set to complete this 5" X 7" card.
