cow are ya doing?!

hello!
what a happy day today is - I have a card up on the Lawn Fawn blog using some of the new products!
and BONUS, I made a video to go along with it!
you can watch it here or on my youtube channel.

so cute, right!?
I think we've all been begging for some highland cow images from Lawn Fawn, and these are even cuter than I could have imagined!
I started my card today NOT by coloring in with Zig Clean Color Real Brush Markers like I usually do, but by coloring in the images with Distress Inks and the coordinating coloring stencils!

below are the colors I used for the images:
cows - Antique Linen, Fossilized Amber, Vintage Photo, Lost Shadow
flowers - Mowed Lawn, Twisted Citron, Milled Lavender, Seedless Preserves, Wilted Violet

I also used Milled Lavender, Seedless Preserves and Wilted Violet for the speech bubble which is from the Summer Friends stamp set.

I always LOVE how fast and easy adding colors to the images with the coloring stencils are! once the images were all colored, I finished the images with some details in a white gel pen.
then I used the coordinating dies to die cut out MOST of the images.
the two remaining images were then die cut out with the Magic Picture Changer dies.

I used some masks that I created for the cows and then did ink blending around the images to create the background!
I used the same Distress Ink colors for the rest of the backgound of the card including the Magic Picture Changer Add-on, Stitched Hillside Borders and Grassy Border dies in Cracked Pistachio, Peacock Feathers, Pine Needles, Twisted Citron and Squeezed Lemonade.
I also used Mustard Seed for the pull tab.

once the Magic Picture Changer mechanism was created I attached it to the card by popping it up with foam tape.
the rest of the images were attached directly to the background with glue.
I finished off the card by heat embossing the sentiment in white onto Black Licorice cardstock.

I super love how this card came out, and hopefully it made you smile, too!
be sure to check it out up on the Lawn Fawn blog, too!
enjoy!
