I made this for today's Inspiration Challenge - Cow Parade! This is the cow I chose: http://www.toniscollectibles.com/sto...ouge_large.jpg
The lady pictured in the stamp could be sipping her wine at the Moulin Rouge, no?
I needed a layout, so I chose to use this week's sketch challenge. Then I realized I made my own DP, so there's the limited supplies challenge! :-)
I stamped the swirls from Carte Postale on Creamy Caramel and embossed a craft store background stamp in Encore gold ink with clear EP on More Mustard. I like the way the feathers and "rubies" finished her hat. I cut the oval by hand and used craft scissors for the red scallop oval. I SO need some Nestabilities!!!
This was a lot of fun - there are so many great cows, I may have to make some more cards!
Thanks for looking! What do you think?

I totally agree with Darlene, this is awesome. The background is wonderful and you also were able to work the sketch into the card as well. Congratulations on combining the challenges.
I am sorry to hear that your dh had an accident with his motor bike. But, I am glad to also hear that he is doing better. Will keep him in our prayers. Blessings,
