Camping and cows

We'd a lovely Spring day today, sunshine and a bit of heat in the air.  It's looking good for the bank holiday weekend :)   It's great to see the garden starting to take shape again after such a long wet autumn & winter.

Anyway, this is a special request card for a little girl who was going camping for her birthday and was going to be toasting marshmallows!  Which is fine, if you have camping type stamps!  I luckily found this unloved DP in my stash which was perfect.  I used the fire from part of an old High Hopes stamp; my bunny is from Eat Cake Graphics and then I drew on a stick with a marshmallow!
This one was a challenge ... Penny Black Saturday this month want to see your favourite Penny Black stamp.  Which is a bit of an impossibility as I love all my PB stamps!  I paper pieced her wellies and added clear gloss to her horns.  Gummiapan flower die.  Not sure of make of embossing folder, it's another oldie.

Oh, Lynne....that adorable cow! Love what you did with the paper piecing and the glossy horns! Thanks so much for joining us at Penny Black Saturday Challenge with your fabulous card! Hugs, Lynda Joy

You managed to create a fabulous camping scene. Makes me want to go camping myself (but not in a tent! I don't "do" tents anymore. he he). I love your PB cow, too. The wellies are hysterical. My older sister and BIL raise cattle, and I tried hard to imagine their big cows in wellies. I don't think they'd be too cooperative in putting them on, much less wearing them! Love the gloss on the horns, too.

Great patterned papers and sweet designs but the boots on that cow along with her glitzy horns just made me giggle!

What a great birthday card. You nailed it. I guess that girl was superhappy for this card featuring what she was going to do. Thank you so much for entering our ATG challenge at Through The Craft Room Door this week. Looking forward to see you again next challenge.
