I cannot believe how thin soda cans are these days. I cut mine with ordinary scissors. Flattened out as much as possible and ran it through the cb. Then took the now eb can and punched out some flowers, put a hole in the centers and added the big yellow brads. Flowers done......next.....
Cut out a square piece of red cs, painted the edges black and white with acrylic paints then sponged tea dye over......next....
I drew this picture of a cow's head. I love cows, so anything with a cow makes me happy. Then I colored with copic markers, versa marked and clear eb. Cut out the shape with an oval squiggly coluzzle.....next...
Cut my scanned dress bg a little smaller than the card which I had sponged the edges with red pepper and doodled. Sponged the bg edges with tea dye. Put this on the card, then added the red square and the oval picture of my makes me happy cow.....next....
Glued on the big red bow from my wonderful friend Anne Ryan, then glued on the coke can flowers with the big yellow brads.....done.
Hope you like this and that it makes you happy too!.....TFL :0)

ACK he needs to go live in my tin-roofed barn! I LOVE that cow you drew, and his cud, and the pretty flowers that he'll probably eat soon when his cud is all chewed! FAB background, tooooo!

Cathy, this is fabulous. I love your little cow. The flowers are pretty, but it is your little cow that caught my attention first. I love the ribbon bow. Great card. Hope to see you at the teaparty tomorrow!

Who needs stamps when you can draw like this? Why ever you even think about buying stamps is beyond me. This is just darling, Nutmeg. You done good, real good in fact. Woozers, you even added flowers! yikes!
