More Weekend Challenge Cards
As I mentioned yesterday there were some challenges thrown out for this weekend:
1- Make a one layer card (showed you this one yesterday)
2- Use a brand new stamp
3- Use a stamp that you had for a while that is being neglected.
I was a busy beaver and finished the other two challenges. 
The first card is with a new stamp from High Hopes Rubber Stamps. It is part of the December Project of the Month package. And will also be available as a single stamp on January 1st.
The image was colored with Copic Markers. The sky was sponged with Ranger Distress Broken China ink. The Distress inks are the absolute best for sponging. They stay wet just long enough to get a nice smooth blend with the sponge.
Stamps: Piggy from the December POTM - High Hopes Rubber Stamps
Paper: Georgia Pacific White, Chocolate Chip, Basic Grey Infuse
Ink: Ranger Distress Black Soot, Broken China, Peeled Paint, Walnut Stain
Accessories: Copic Markers, Sponge, Signo Gel Pen, Faber Castell Artist Pen, Ribbon from May Arts
Here’s a peek at the products I used for these cards. Inks can be found HERE.
The second card is for the “Neglected Stamp”. I chose this cute kitty from Whipper Snapper Designs that’s been sitting lonely an uninked for quite a while.
The image was colored with Copic Markers and the Sky was sponged with Ranger Broken China Ink. I sponged the edges of the pink and patterned paper panels with Ranger Distress Walnut Stain ink.
Stamps: Just For You Cat - Whipper Snapper Designs

Fantastic cards! Did you use Copic Sketch or Copic original markers? With regard to your great sky, is the sponge damp or dry before you ink it with the distress ink? Hope that is not a lame question, I am trying to learn! LOL! Thanks! Great coloring! Deb
Those cards are so cute! That pig is just too adorable - love him!
I *LOVE* the pig!! Well, everything else too– but my son loves pigs, and they are rubbing off on me.
Great work!
Both are so adorable!!! Love the effect you get with the distress ink for your sky ~~ I’ll have to try that
