One card = Two Challenges



I hardly every make a card that works for two challenges but this week is different. This card is for http://sweetstampinchallengeblog.blogspot.com/2011/12/things-with-wings.html and http://www.owhstarsandstamps.org/2011/12/sketch-challenge-99.html


I almost threw this card away before I finished it because I thought it looked dumb (I printed it out on the pink) even though I love the sweet corniness of the image and sentiment. I grew up on a milk farm so I have a fondness for cows! The image is by Bugaboo Stamps; the sentiment is by me because I wanted a miss you card for OWH. This was a freebie at one time, but now can be purchased at http://www.bugaboostamps.com/Cow-Humor--holy-cow_p_2349.html.

I cannot color well with markers (or any other media) so I was definitely outside my comfort zone on this one. I did gloss the cow's nose to add a little interest.

  9. Love the cow and your sentiment is perfect. I may have to borrow it in the future. If you like cows, check out Smoochie on Tiddly Inks. I have a post on November 7th featuring her. She doesn't require much coloring either. :)

  10. This gives a whole new meaning for the phrase "until pigs fly!" LOL A flying cow is something I surely don't want to stand underneath, but this card is really cute:) I love how you did the ribbon!
