The challenge this week at The Secret Crafter is to make a get well card.I thought that I was going to struggle with the theme until this crazy little idea popped into my head! I always appreciate a card that makes me laugh when I'm feeling low, so I went with a little comedy number using my favourite piggy from Stampin' Up!
The papers are all from the gorgeous Cosmo Cricket early bird pad. I love using these papers, but I always 'sigh' as the cutter zips them down to size. I added lots of 'Old Paper' Distress ink and some cute Stampin' Up! linen thread to complete the 'Homespun' look that I was trying to achieve. 
I hope that this little pig feels better soon as he looks very, very sick indeed!Happy crafting everyone!
