This is my 4th card this month for the USEIT2015 challenge. I think this will be for my older nephew - he's autistic and ADHD, and it's a bit hard to know what he's in to, but since he still enjoys riding and helps out at the local stables every week, this is as suitable as anything else I have. I coloured the bull to look like the Highland cattle we saw in a local park where we went for a walk over Easter. Photos on my blog HERE.
Stamped the herd on Bristol Board and used Polychromos pencils to colour. The goat and pig have their heads popped up, and some of them have Glossy Accents on the eyes.
For the frame, I stamped the IO Woodgrain on kraft with Gathered Twigs, cut the aperture and then scored it and highlighted the scores with a white gel pen. Bunting stamped twice on white card to get enough pennants to write the sentiment on. The wood frame is popped up on foam tape.

Adorable. I love how you made all the animals so colorful. Love the spots on the goat, and the colorful tail on the bird. Popping up the heads on the goat and pig adds such a great "dimension" to your card.

Very cool masculin card, Sabrina. The wood frame looks so real and is the perfect choice for this image. It always makes me think of the origional Dr. Doolittle with the " push me pull you" ... that might have been before your time. The 3D elements look terrific.

Super cute card Sabrina! The image already sells itself, but love the details of you paper piercing the image to make it pop even more. Love the wood frame for that "farm" vibe, and love the banner for the festive greeting. Really super cute card.
