MFT FEBRUARY RELEASE - COUNTDOWN DAY 5

I thought I'd start this month's release countdown with a little bit of humour.
The sentiment on the new Party Animals stamp set says it all:

"Smile Until Your Cheeks Hurt"

Not sure the chicken would agree, but those pesky piglets are finding their prank highly amusing!



The naughty little pigs filled the balloons with Helium.  If you look carefully you can see the canister of gas behind them whilst they chuckle to themselves and the poor chicken floats off to goodness knows where. 
Can anyone work out what I used to create the helium bottle?  I'll give you the answer at the end of this post.......

The scene was stamped on Copic suitable card with Hybrid Cement Gray ink, with the background drawn by hand.  It was coloured primarily using Copic Markers with a small amount of coloured pencil enhancement.  

COPIC COLOURS:
Sky: B0000, B000, 0
Grass/Bushes: G20, G40, C0, C1, C2
Buttercups: Y13, YR23
Piglets: R11, R12, R20, RV32, RV34, W8
Chicken: R21, R22, E40, E41, E42, E43, E11, E13, E15, E17
Pig's Sweaters: BG02, BG05, BG07, BG09, YG61, TG63, YG67
Helium Bottle: W1, W3, W5
Balloons: R22, R24, R29, G12, G14, G16, BG02, BG05, BG07, W2, W4

Once coloured I used the outer, uncoloured stitched part as a sort of border and then mounted it on Itsy Bitsy Polka Dots Pastel paper with a Gumdrop Green mount to finish, adhered to an A2 top folding card base.


So who worked out what I used as the helium tank? 
10/10 if you spotted that it's the salt shaker from Recipe for Happiness!


Don't forget, if you hop on over to the MFT Blog and leave a comment, you may be the lucky winner of a $75 MFT Store voucher as well as seeing the fantastic cards my team mates have been creating with this new release.

I'll be back tomorrow with another project from the upcoming February release
Happy Colouring
