It's Been A Long Time

Last week was such a hectic week - the combination of school and commitments after work left little stamp time and left me exhausted!! It was great to get together with the Greensburg SCS group on Saturday - I made some cute bunny nuggets that I'll try to post one day this week.

Getting together with other stampers is great - except for one thing...my need (ahem..wish) list gets BIGGER and BIGGER. Mandy and Shayla created adorable cards using the Funny Farm $1 stamps from Michaels. I was beside myself when our Michaels was sold out. Luckily, I found some at a Michaels in Pittsburgh today and created this card for the Shirleys2Girls Twisted Thursday challenge using the cow. Special thanks to Mandy and Shayla for the inspiration!!



This week's twist was to add piercing to the provided sketch, which I add to the top and bottom of one layer. I used Prismacolor watercolor pencils and a blender pen to create the background of the cow. The cow's head is also popped out.


Details:
Stamps - Studio G Cow (Michaels $1 Bin), Raindrop Backgroung (Hero Arts)
Paper - DCWV DP (Grade School stack); SU Real Red, Basic Black, Yoyo Yellow, white
Ink - SU Real Red, black
Accessories - Pop dots, Prismacolor watercolor pencils, paper piercer, black gingham ribbon


Thanks for stopping by!!

Ok, Stephanie, that cow is adorable! I love how his little head is popped up too! What a great layout and use of colors! It's so much fun to craft with other crafters, isn't it? And yes, our wishlists get all that much longer when they're so talented!

Love the card. The cow is so cute. I need to get to Micheal's. Too bad the closes one is an hour from me or I would maybe catch some of these cute $1 stamps.
