Great challenge today....three in one! This card reflects what my day has been like. Got home from work, my daughter was here baking cookies, so I started working on the card. My son calls, says he is having major car problems. He is not the best person to have any trouble happen to him. So after several unpleasant hours, and then having to quickly throw dinner together, I finally finished this card. Hope that explains while it is late! Here, briefly, is what I did.......
Stamped the cow on white cs, colored and clear eb. Did the baby wipe technique for the first time and used a bg stamp to stamp with. Punched out the larger circles from the bw bg, sponged edges. Cut out a rectangle of the bw bg with the coluzzle. Stamped, clear eb the sentiment. Popped it up.
Sponged creamy caramel all around using plastic wrap crumbled up. Glued on a strip that I sponged bravo burgundy with. Glued on the circles, and popped up the faces that I hand drew and clear eb. Doodled and sponged edges and then finished the dinner dishes! TFL :0)

LOL I am not sure which I love more. The card or your day. I have those days all the time. You must have teenagers. I could only wish my daughter would bake. That would require a little effort. LOL. This card is great. I have too many of those mood swings. LOVE this WS image. Really great job on the challenge...

Oh my kind of card, for sure Cathy! Your image is just a hoot, although you day didnt sound like it was that much a hoot - unless you were to look at it differently! I love those circles. Oh, this is just precious, my friend. Fantastic baby wipe technique. Now, just tell me, where on earth did you get those baby wipes? Oh, just went up and looked and saw cottonelle butt wipes. Oh my, you must be so much older than me! I thought those things were for old people!
