I titled this “my faux cow” because to me, my Rosco dog is my little cow.
By now most of you know I just love cows. The closest IÂ’ll ever get to owning one is my Rosco Dog. You see he is an Australian Cattle Dog. You would never guess he was Australian. When he barks he doesnÂ’t even have a hint of an accent. hehe One thing for sure, he is one crazy dog AND I wouldnÂ’t have it any other wayÂ…..my cardÂ…..
I stamped, masked and stamped twice more the MFT cows. Colored with prisma pencils and gamsol. Then I versa marked and clear ep them. Stamped the fence and tree behind blending with water and a brush.
Rosco is from an IC card I did awhile back. I printed him out, colored with prisma pencils and gamsol, versa marked and clear ep then cut out. Popped him up in my scene.
Put the scene panel on black cs that I painted the white squares. Then put this all on a white card that I put Graphic 45 dp on. Made the tiny bow using the bow maker, added a button and called it done.
Nothing fancy here. All I know is my Rosco Dog makes me smile. Hope he makes you smile tooÂ…Â…TFL :0)

Cathy, your cards are always so fun!! Hey - I once knew a Australian Cattledog IRL! My friend had one for some years. That dog didn't bark with a Australian accent either, more's the pity!!! Darling card - love your cows!!!!Rosco looks mighty excited to be featured on the card!!
BTW - I live in the same time zone as you - I just keep strange hours!!! I do!

OMGoodness! how great is this????
My grandmother had a pet steer. His name was George. We never could "eat" him, as he followed her around like a dog! So he stayed on her farm for the rest of his life. We got him at a cattle auction. He was "thrown" in to a deal because he was so small an he got no bids... My grandma NEVER named another steer after that! LOL

Like your plaid Graphic 45 DP peeking out and of course your signature black and white checks! CUTE little barnyard scene!
That Rosco dog is either very HAPPY or guitly of something? Love the ribbon bow! Perfect little red button for the accent on it too!
