Brief note: this is NOT my regular Teapot Party Card. This one is for the Destination. My regular card to follow shortly. Now, onto the story at handÂ….
Cow in the spot light!......Yikes! CurtÂ’s been caught! Watering flowers, that is.
After seeing all the beautiful flowers in the gallery, he knew what he had to do. Water them. He found out that if when holding on to a very large flower and with just the right breeze he could fly! So fly he did with water can in hoof. DonÂ’t want any drooping flowers now do we. hehe Confused? Go here for more of the storyÂ…Â…now card detailsÂ….
I made this little scene by combining two Penny Black stamps. One had a cow jumping over a frog and the other had a hedgehog with a large flower in hand flying over flowers with a watering can. Well as you can see, I replaced the hedge hog with the cow and the frog with flowers. Did lotÂ’s of masking. The watering can was a free clip-art image I downloaded and added diamond glaze to it.
Made an extra copy of this for Lindsay to use. Tried to keep it CAS but all the white just got to me. So first I tried the corner punch doodle thing. Not enough, so I sponged the edges, still not enough. Then I laid an oval over Curt and sponged the outside edges, removed the oval added doodle lines. Still needed something more so I punched out a circle, sponged and doodled it into a sun. Before putting it on, I was sitting at my office desk with some new small ruled index cards I just bought, took one out, cut it down in size and proceeded to fold on the lines back n forth. In the end I ended up with what are now sunrays for my sun.
Put this all on a black AC cs card Â…..Done. Well hope Lindsay has fun with this. Must say, everyone is doing just a fab job with all the flower cards today. Gonna keep Curt mighty busy watering them all. heheÂ…Â….TFL :0)

Curt is such a happy cow - look at that smile. He looks like he's found his element - maybe plant management! When I first looked at your card, I wondered how you made the sun's rays look so cute - wow an index card! Your flowers and sun are very cute - as is your entire card!
