I love this stamp set from the Annual Catalog.
It's called Barnyard Babies — so cute.
I received this card in a swap and just had to share it.
How now…? BROWN COW.
I LOVE IT!!
The designer used so many fun elements on this card.
The Very Vanilla layer is embossed with the Elegant Dots embossing folder.
She used the Mossy Meadow 5/8" Striped Cotton Ribbon.
She attached the ribbon to the top of the card with the hand held stapler.
Those little staples are so cute.
The flower is from the Itty Bitty Accents Punch Pack and
a Candy Dot was added in the center of the flower.
She used the Fringe Scissors for the grass.
And of course a sponge for the sky and Aqua Painter or Blender Pen
to color in the cow.
I think this card is adorable and will probably be ordering the
Barnyard Babies stamp set on my next order.
