Happy Birthday to Moo! a colour challenge, using Apricot Appeal, Ballet Blue and Real Red, its even more of a challenge as these colours are Stampin Up! Colours, none of which I own, so I had a real close look at the fantastic entries and found as close a match as I could.
I also did the DCM Midweek challenge A little Extra Doodling, I added some faux stitching, but I also paper pricked the hole for some of the stitching and that is something that I have done before, but its something I will do again as I really like the effect.
I stamped the cow on white cardstock with Brilliance Graphite Ink and then coloured the image in using copics. (its not great but I am still learning!), I cut the image out using my Cuttlebug and small scallop Nestabilites die. I then used the same size die but the normal scallop on a blue card stock, which I mounted the image onto.
I cut out two stripes of card, one in muted yellow and the other the same blue I had used previously, faux stitching added, some pin pricking, and the edges inked with Mediterranean Blue Brilliance ink. I wrote Happy Birthday to Moo! Free hand and mounted onto the base cardstock which is red. I assembled all the pieces and added a final touch of bling with coordinating gems.
