FTHS Sketch Challenge #168 & coloring video

¡Hola! 
I am back with a card for the FTHS Sketch Challenge #168


I had a hard time with this sketch,
I wasn't sure how to interpret the waves.
 I think on the end, I figured it out and love how it turned out.
This is the sketch I followed and flipped to make it work.


 The background
Step 1. For this card I created the background using distress inks. 
Yes, you heard me right. 
I have a few distress ink and every few month I try to use them.
I am not a distress ink lover...but I keep trying to figure them out.
Inks used: 

Step 2.  I proceeded to cut the background piece to 4.25" and 5.5" and
 then into wavy strips to resemble the sketch.  

Step 3. I glued the pieces onto black cardstock.

Step 4. Copic coloring, here are the colors I used.


I made a YouTUbe video for the coloring process of this cute little piggy.
Be advised, when I was almost done, I received a hone call
so my phone stopped recording.
I finished the coloring on a second video, sigh!
Part 1 is linked below, part 2 is linked on youtube.

You can watch my coloring:

Other thinks I used: 
Chevron die: Sizzix Banners, Chevrons and Clouds die set 
hugs die: from my stash!
