Hi there!

Today I’m playing along with the sketch challenge at Just Add Ink challenge using products kindly sent to me by Penny Black.

I love seeing what other cardmakers create with cute critter stamps but I rarely use them myself nowadays. But when I saw the cute cows in Penny Black’s Sending Smiles release, I knew I wanted to create with them! They remind me of Ermintrude from the Magic Roundabout…. I think it was the flower in the mouth and the shape of their cute little faces!

Anyway, the In the Moooo’d mini stamp set (30-986) and the Cow are You set (30-988) have been on my desk for a while and today I finally got to ink them up!

I fussy cut each cow and coloured them with my Twinkling H2O paints. I then created circular frames using a die from the Stitched Circles set (51-551) and adhered them to a couple of coloured circles. I die cut an ink-blended background from the Stitches of Love (51-597) and then adhered all my images to my card base, following the challenge sketch. I would have loved to have used Ermintrude’s signature phrase ‘Hello, Dearheart’ but I think that the sentiment from the Cow Are You set works very well!

Thanks for stopping by!
