Just in case anyone was wondering, if you put bleach on black paper, you do NOT get nice white blotches that look like cow skin. At least not on the black paper I tried - I did get some interesting brown blotches.
So ...I made this card for this week's teapot over at mothermark's blog. Somehow I think I made this one more involved than it had to be! I made the denim for his pants by rubbing 2 blue ink pads across some lighter blue cardstock and adding gel pen stitching and marker for the wrinkles at the seam. I used my scor-pal to do checkers on the red shirt, then rubbed it with white. My cow ( YES it is a cow, what did you think it was? ) has a Martha Stewart punched udder and feet ... my revenge on Martha for her years of being organized while I was .... not ... and an Elemental Doodles stamped hat of course. I word processed the Moooooo. I thought Snickers looked kind of like cow fur so I used her for a background. The cat whiskers sticking out do not add to the illusion of cow.

OMG! What a fun little cow! Your story had me giggling big time! Thanks for the lesson on Clorox 101! Hm....who'd a thunk! I thought it would be white too! Maybe that is why we are going to tea parties together! We think clorox turns black white!
I love your creative denim...and again...giggling at the udders, the hat, and the cat whiskers comment! So glad you could come....Alicia most definately has some strong competition showing up! She better be on her A game!

Your chocolate chip cow is awesome. I love this idea. It is perfect for the challenge today. Great punching. Snickers looks like you woke him from a nap. Great job.

I do love her...Look! She being cool with the Levi's and everything. I, have no qualms about colours a cow or a person should be you know. So which ever colour you want to make your cow is fine with me. LOL It is! Love all the textures you put here, and seeing she has no agent or nothing, send her over to Tomas, he'll take care of her okay. Looks like she has a promising future in...well, Tomas will find out what it is, he's the boss! TFS
