Love this Whipper Snapper set probably because I Love cows! LOL No really, this set is just so darn cute. Anyway here is what I did.......
Stamped the cow twice on white cs with brilliance black, heat embossed with clear ep. Colored with Adirondack re-inkers. Cut images out so I could pop up certain parts. Boy, the skinny cow legs were fun, expecially putting pop ups on those tiny hoofs.
On another piece of white cs, I stamped the cow and part of summer background image. Colored this too with re-inkers. Stamped a few more dots in the grassy areas with dots from Stamps by Judith. Sponged the sky and added the clouds, which came from the summer background stamp. Sponged the edges with distress ink-tea dye. Popped this up on white cs that I stamped the border on, heat embossing with clear ep.
There you have it.
Well..........what do you think?..................
Comments are appreciated! Thanks in advance. TFL :0)

Wow, such a lot of work for this card but worth every minute it must have taken you. It's absolutely stunning! I love the scene you have made from the different stamps, very inventive. Fab colouring too.
