This card is a wee bit backwards...I started with the cow, and stamped him on black with white pigment ink...then used my white gel pen to color his spots. Thennnn I realized, that really cows are white with black spots...or are they? I guess spots are in the eye of the beholder...kind of like which comes first, the chicken or the egg? Oops...digressing with the farm animal analogies...
So if I did this card again, I would have done white with black spots to counter the sky I made. I think there is too much black with white accents...but I do like my moon! I can never get enough of any kind of textile/pattern stamps...used wonderful weaves on moon, and made my own plaid dp with an older SU plaid-making set!

A wee bit screwed up, Avon Lady? A wee bit? Okay then, let me say it's not a wee bit anything except darling. I cant say I've ever seen a baby card like this, but then I've never known anyone like you either. I just happen to think this is so sweet. Love the moon and cow....hey, isnt there a nursery rhyme about a cow and a moon? Love your papers and colors, and it's really a wee bit too darling, Avon Lady!

No matter how you colored the cow, this is still darling!! Black on white, or white on black...we have some Holsteins that have very little white on them, so the little that they do have would be white on black. Fabulous card!!
