I am so excited to share today’s card for my Fandom Friday series because it features the Some Pig stamp set from Miss Ink Stamps. This story was such a favorite of mine growing up, so creating a card inspired by it felt extra special. I colored my images ahead of time using alcohol markers and kept the palette simple with soft reds for the pig, yellow oranges for the hay, browns for the barn, and grays for the spider and rat. To create the barn scene, I masked off the door opening and ink blended a soft brown background inside so it looked like the characters were sitting in front of their barn.

For the card base, I stenciled spider webs onto a light gray panel and layered my ink blended barn door on top with foam adhesive for subtle dimension. I added splatter to the barn using red watercolor for texture and shine, then arranged the hay, rat, spider, and pig so everything felt balanced. A white gel pen helped clean up edges and add highlights before I adhered the finished panel to an A2 card base. I kept the front sentiment simple and stamped a playful message inside to finish the card. This project came together quickly and was such a fun way to mix storytelling with card making.
