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!
