I am Guest Designing this month for the Color Challenge ~ thank you Mary! This week's Color Challenge CC964 is hosted by Barbara and she chose Copper Clay, Moody Mauve and Misty Moonlight and the dessert option is 'Die Cuts'
- I used Misty Moonlight for the card base and pocket, then I stamped a denim bg stamp from La-La Land Crafts in a grey color as I didn't have the MM ink.
- I substituted the Copper Clay with Pecan Pie as it was the closest thing I had to it, so I backed the pocket with the PP cardstock that I fussycut just a tad smaller than the die cut.
- I also pulled out a paper from SU!'s Earthen Elegance that has the Copper Clay in it as I thought it kinda resembled a rustic cowboy-ish paper and would look super cute with this cow.
- The layer that the pocket/cow is on is a piece of Pecan Pie gingham from the Glorious Ginghams dsp.
- For the flowers on cow's head, I also used some Mossy Meadow and Blackberry Bliss (which are neutral colors)

Now that you say what the background paper is I know what you mean - but I seriously thought you had found some spotted cowhide paper for this amazing card! It's perfect and has SO many spot on details.

Wow, this is adorable and so creative, Kristine. What a cute cow in a denim pocket. Love her expression, tilt of the head and flowers on top. The gingham paper is perfect. The background paper does look like a cow/cowboy design. So many great details. Great card. Welcome to the team for September!

Kristine, this little wild west cow could not be cuter! I love the flowers on her head, as well as the image of her traveling in the pocket of a pair of jeans! Love the belt and buckle, too. Altogether, a perfect and fun card. Welcome to the CC team for the month of September!
