I bought this Penny Black stamp last August at a stamp store's rummage sale. I figured I'd better ink it up before I go to their *next* rummage, which my friend just told me is this Friday!!! I just feel better buying more stuff, if I use my older stuff, KWIM?? That way my purchases are justifiable, lol!!
I didn't add a lot of extras to this card, because I think the cows are way too funny & I didn't want to distract from them. I did add the "celebrate" stamp in the corner, which is from a set of Michael's clear stamps. A little ribbon, a little doodling & it's good to go!! I found the striped paper in my stash, in one piece, but strangely enough there was no name anywhere so I guess it's paper "X".

That is so funny! I love that stamp. Have never seen it around my neck of the woods. That is cute though!! Good job!

Thanks for the insipiration!! You know, I had this stamped image ( (I have the stamp ) all coloured and cut out to dimensionalize it - but have never but it together into the cards it deserves to be on??? You 've reminded me what a cute image it is - and what a great layout!! Super job, and I love your background paper too!

Absolutely "Moovalous"! I adore cows and this is just too cute! Love the way your colors match your BG paper so well and the way you added the ribbon. Great card-just added to my favorites!

What an awesome stamp to find in a rummage bin! I need to visit your stamp store! The coloring on the cows is fantastic and I love the pp you used with it. Do you have the name of the stamp?
