Bessie and Her Funny Farm!

I purchased this set last year and really haven't had any inspiration to make a card with it. I decided to surf the net and found my inspiration piece in a children's downloadable colouring page.
I started with this picture for the direction of my card. I coloured the barn and silo with my markers and blended it well with my aqua painters. I then heat embossed with clear powder to make the silo look glossy (In my mind it was supposed to resemble metal...oh well!)



The many background layers have been run through my cuttlebug, adhered with double sided tape and then quilted with my sewing machine. I have sponged the various layers with their co-ordinating inks to add some more depth. The sun is embossed with clear embossing powder and then heated with my heat gun.


Now onto the fun stuff! Meet Bessie and Baa. Bessie, the lovable cow has been watercoloured and then flocked so that she is fuzzy and warm. Baa, the sheep has been covered with fluffy goodness with my liquid applique ;)


This card is so much fun to run your fingers over with all the raised embossed backgrounds full of bumps, fuzz and fluff! I thought that this card would make a cute belated birthday card with the phrase "It's pasture birthday......Hope ewe had a mooo-valas one!"
It's cheezy I know, but I thinks that it fits the card! lol
