Here is my Design Team card for Double Trouble Challenge #144 "Woody" with requirement to use woodgrain and opted to use Twisted Sister's Twist to "include a Piggy" which is a requirement for FarmQuest Challenge #33 "Pigs". The Try Stampin' on Tuesday Sketch #616 was perfect for woodgrain and instead of a circle used a square frame and even included their twist behind the floral "a summer drink" behind the floral. The ColorMyHeart Color Dare Challenge #558 "TicTacToe" had great choices and my choice was to use Row 1: Melon, Sundance, Sage + Capri).
The background was my woodgrain requirement... smudged edges with Nutmeg ink taking on a barn texture and added a small border of melon cardstock also smudged. The banners were two patterned papers, with woodgrain strip between each, smudged edges with Nutmeg and adhered direct to my woodgrain background.
The frame for piggy was cut with same woodgrain as background in a different direction, and another panel cut for the background of the frame in same direction as background.
A lot of fussy coloring and fussy-cutting... piggy, flowers and cup using Copic Sketch Brushes in colors closest to Melon, Sundance, Sage and Capri and adhered in frame with 3D thin foam tape for dimension with additional flowers on two corners as the embellishments shown on sketch.
Sketch didn't require a sentiment but one was added in the bottom right-hand corner using Melon cardstock and stamped with Nutmeg ink. This was a big challenge to get all the ingredients in from the four challenges, many cuts, replacing and removing pieces, until it finally came together... and I'm so happy with it, hope you enjoy this card too.
Inside of Card: Used the outer frame, which would have gone in stash, adhered to the inside card base and stamped a sentiment in frame. Stamped some flowers on white cardstock, used the background elements with closest row one colors and adhered under the frame, some fussy-cut on top of flowers and adhered to the frame bottom leaving space on bottom for personal note.

Oh, that pig! Love the opening in the barn wall that you created - super cute :)
What a fantastic card, your combination of the different challenges works perfectly (and adding that cute little drink is a great detail!)
Suzanne: This is 'sow' adorable!!! Your card is making me squeal with delight! It's amazing that between the 2 DT crews there are no duplicate pig images/stamps!!! Even the wood usages are different! Such great farm and country charm in your card! Thanks for giving FQCB this opportunity to partner with DTCB! --Becca
Oh my gosh this image is so stinkin cute and your coloring and layering for that layout work perfect for the image.
Oh, Suzanne, what a fun piggy card! That little pig with her summer drink is as happy as one can get. I really like the frame you created for her to peek out her window! Great use of Copic coloring too!! Thank you for sharing her with us at Try Stampin' on Tuesday, and your creative approach to our sketch!!! -Donna
Sweet sweet card! I yelled "Wilbur!" That's who I thought of. :)
Oh my goodness! I love that pig--it is so very cute! What a wonderful card--I love how you were able to make so many different challenges work so well together. I can also only imagine how tired your eyes and fingers were after all of that fussy cutting! Thank you for joining us for this challenge at Try Stampin' on Tuesday and look forward to seeing you again soon!

Wow so cute! I love the pig hanging out the barn door. Great use of our colors, too.
Such a cute card. It gives me a Charlottes Web vibe. Super colouring too.
Awww, Suzanne, such a sweet little pig. Love her flower "hat" and your wood grain is superb! We're tickled that you've entered our challenge at FarmQuest this month. Hope to see you playing again regularly. :-D Good luck.
