This weeks teapot challenge is to send a card with a bucolic Minnesota scene to a woman who needs peace right now. She is recovering from an operation and I hope this brings her some serenity.
This stamp set has not yet gone digital so I stamped the image and then enlarged it 200%. I made 2 copies and cut out the cow and fence and popped them up. I used distress inks on the edges of the gingham bg and the sentiment. The sentiment is also popped up. The scene is coloured with copics.

Elizabeth, this country cow scene is not only beautiful, but fantastic! I am a total believer in enlarging images ( I do it all the time with the embroidery patterns)! The bell, burlap ribbon and raffia add to the down home beauty of this wonderful creation! Watch out, Curt has his eye on this heifer!

You're getting to be a real whizz with your digital and non -digital manipulation now, Elizabeth!! With the cowbell, I'm thinking this cow must have been on her way to the Swiss tea-party but she took the long way round and arrived just in perfect time to adorn a beautiful pastoral scene for Peggy.
I really like the way the sentiment is almost like a photo-corner.

Hi Elizabeth, I so LOVE the way you colored this card! Super adorable and yes we still have some of these Down on the Farm Clear Art Stamp Sets left and on sale for $11.95 in our www.craftyvintagegirl.com store. Then it will become a digital set and all the images will be bigger but re-sizable and only $9.95 for the download.
Thanks for sharing! I'm going to add this to my blog post and our Farm Pintrest folder
