My granddaughter, the one who's away at college in Texas and who has a thing about cows - especially highland heifers, is having a birthday soon. I haven't been able to decide which cow image I wanted to use for her card so I've done a couple of collaboration cards with my sis-in-law in which she colors and I turn her colored images into cards. This is one of them and it's definitely in the running to be the birthday card!
After Lainy colored the image with Ohuhu markers and colored pencils, I cut it with a large QuicKutz die. I rounded the corners with a Fiskars punch. I dug through the scrap basket and found the bits I used for the background; a dp strip from a Recollections stack, some orange CS, and a rectangle of beige which had been run through an embossing folder making a leather-look embossed pattern.
I hand-sewed a small bow, 'dyed' orange with a marker. The sentiment was printed and cut with an Avery Elle die.

Oh, Connie, how I love to see Highland cattle. Your image is beautifully colored. Thank you for playing along with us at Double Trouble #177. (My parents and I visited Scotland, aka the "Old Country", annually when I was growing up. They are called "Heilan Coos". I have not visited since 2005 - maybe it's time.) :)
