OMGosh, even I can't believe I did this card. This thing with cows is getting a little out of hand! hehe I mean, when I looked at the sketch today, I thought....hmmmmm if I flip that it could be a cow. So I did just that. I think Curt has me under some kind of spell. Oh well....
Rox, great sketch today. Obviously I LOVED it. hehe I love anything with cows on it. My Curt here, was made with various punches, felt and jute. Coloring of Curt was done with copics and sponging, popping up parts. I drew the tiny legs, didn't want him to fall down.
For the background, I used a bg stamp from Rubbernecker Stamps . I versa marked it then inked it up with butterscotch and stamped it on my panel, clear ep. Then I turned the panel and stamped it again the same way using terra cotta, clear ep it. Sponged the sky with stonewashed and the hills with meadow.
Put Curt on the bg, added his tail and legs. Then put it all on a black card. Took a picture and low and behold if there wasn't another cow! Now how the heck did he get there? hehe
Well, I have so many RAK's I need to photo and get posted. So I best get busy. Hope you aren't too sick of seeing Curt pop up.......TFL :0)

OK, the very fact that you could flip that sketch and see a cow speaks volumes about something. Just what, I'm not sure. But it says something! And what a fine cow you saw in the sketch - your punchy, sketchy Curt is wonderful. Made me chuckle, so he's a winner. Bet if you turn the sketch sideways you'd see he has a blue ribbon stuck to him.

Curt is moo-valous! After you said you saw a cow, I looked again and there he was in all his glory!! This is fantastic. Love the little cow in the corner w/ his shades on!! I see the blue ribbon Isaiah 40:31 mentioned too. Cool job here.

Russian Spy, I needed to clear my throat for this one. Let me see if can now collect my thoughts. I dont believe I've ever seen a cow quite like this. No, in fact I know I havent. I remember the california cows, but this isnt one of them that much I know. Very sweet squared image unlike any I've ever seen, but hey, you native Coloradians are a little strange to begin with, right? No wonder you think in terms of squares.
All sarcasm aside, no I cant believe even you crafted this card, but wear your authorship well: it's as darling as can be, really it is.
