Quilted Cow

 Hi Everyone, having the flu! I have been not very creative. Hubby was ill last week so much so, we both went to have a Covid test, thankfully it is just the flu, however it's had its effect on us, with cough and sneezes by the hundreds! It's so wearing, the years tell when this happens. 

Anyhow, I had a visit to Beccy's Place and saw this quilted cow that I just had to have, after seeing, a while ago on the web, a saying, that I saved for future use, I'm sorry I can't give credit. There are both ready coloured and one to colour images, but feeling like I do I used the ready coloured, it's a card for a friend of mine. I found a paper in my files that went to so well with the image, it's as if it's made for it (I thought). I did a print and cut on my Silhouette making it easier to layer like a die, so there are 4 layers of each of the cow and the sentiment, I then used distress ink on the edges to "distress" them a little sorry about the pun. I added 3D gel to the eyes and sparkle pen to the heart flowers. Lots of puns too

sentiment mix of my own and the web

3D gel - Nuvo Crystal Glaze

What a great card! I love the sentiments you added Faith, both inside and out. It was a fabulous idea to print multiple copies of the little cow to create a "herd"... love it! I agree that the paper works perfectly with the image, the little hearts are so sweet.
I hope you and your hubby are feeling better very soon. Take care.
Cheers,
Beccy

Glad to hear you are both better and that it wasn't Covid - such scary times! This card is so cute! Loving the quilted cows and that herd on the inside is just hysterical!!

Vicky Hayes said...

Oh Faith, I'm so sorry you've been poorly - and hubby too. When they said autumn and winter are the seasons for picking up coughs and colds, you weren't supposed to kick the autumn off with the flu! I do hope you're feeling a bit better now. You must feel a bit better to be able to make such a fabulous card complete with plenty of puns! Sending hugs, Vicky x

I am so thankful it is the flue and not covid, but not happy that you have the flu either! I hope you and the Mister are feeling better now, I know how much the flu can take it out of you and the older we get, the more it takes it out of a person! Your card is udderly adorable! I love how it is "quilted", you have made such a cute scene using this cutie pie. The sentiment is quite cute as well! Then we get to the inside of this fabulous card and wow, it is amazing on the inside too! Well done with this one!! Hugs, Brenda

Forgot to say how sorry I am you guys got the flu! Hope you're feeling much better now. Seems strange the virus could get you with all the isolation, but just goes to show people they DO need to get flu shots!
