For the challenge we are celebrating July holidaysÂ…did you know the 15th is Cow Appreciation day? I figure since Holstein cows helped feed and cloth us kids while growing up that itÂ’s fitting to give them a little recognition today! And you just gotta love this cow image!
Copics used to color the image panel: R81, 0, E00, C1,3,5, E11,97,99, 100, W3,5, G05,07
Stampin Up markers used for the trees: Going Grey, Forest Foliage. I colored the rubber before stamping and used a stamp positioner in case I needed to apply more color.
I used masking of the cow and fence to create the scene. I store the mask to use again, in fact itÂ’s the second time I used the cow mask.
Nestabilities were used to cut the ovals for the sentiment. AleeneÂ’s tacky glue was used to attach the panel to the image panel.
AleeneÂ’s Paper Glaze was used to attach the nailheads.
My handmade acetate template was used when sponging on the sky.

Now this is one bossy that needs a hug. She looks like she's been overworked. I had to smile at your card, it is so cute and funny. Love your scene. tfs. So you grew up on a farm. Great
