Still Down on the Farm..

Welcome

In our wee NZ swap group this month the challenge was to use a sketch that was provided, and feature an animal in the centre panel - I missed the instruction to NOT use 'usual' colours... 


I enjoyed colouring up this Art Impressions image from their Udderly Fantastic stamp set.


I used water colour pencils to colour the image and background, and added glossy accents to her hooves and mug - which reads " I'm Bossy"


The sentiment so fitted the card - it was clear embossed over Versaclair Pinecone ink.
The ribbon and bow are  Poppy Stamp dies - the bow is available in NZ, here.
The background panel was a piece of card I had mopped up ink from my glass work surface with.


I stamped the image off the edge  on the inside of the card,


and on the envelope, which I coloured lightly with polychrome pencils.

I am linking this to:

Bossy is the best and I love her attitude, Maxine! You can just hear her saying those words - and in the old days, there would have been a ciggie in that right hoof, lol! Great coloring and background! Hugs, Darnell
