Welcome
It's been a while... I have had to deal with some health issues, that culminated in an unexpected diagnosis of COPD (thanks to long term Asthma)
Looking back, I can 'see' it now, but one never expects such news.
I was lacking in inspiration due to the issues building, and had a card to make for a friend who is involved a stud cattle farm. I 'won' this Picket Fence stamp set (No Need To Tip) in an IG de-stash give away by Michelle Lupton, and couldn't resist using it for this card

I stamped the image and sentiment in Versafine Claire ink - Pinecone

Some colour was added with Polychromo pencils. I did add a couple of touches of glossy accents to the eyes and hooves - the photo makes the eyes look rather odd from the way the light caught them.

After stamping the sentiment, I doodled around the card with a fine pen

The inside was finished with part of the image stamped in Memento London Fog ink
I am linking this to:
fabulous Maxine. A great card. Sorry you have been suffering. Hopefully now with a diagnosis you will be all good.
ReplyDeleteBy nature we never thing of the possibilities that may be lurking, but at least it's been picked up and treatable.
ReplyDeleteYour card is such fun with the Cow as is the sentiment.
