Fun with Farm Friends

Good morning!  I hope you all had a great weekend! 

I have two cards to share today, both using Farm Friends by My Favorite Things.  I just adore the sayings that come with each of these images.  For the cow there is “Nobody does it butter,” “Udderly Delightful” and “sMOOches.”  With the mouse there is “Say Cheese,” “How Mice of You” and, my favorite, “Have a Gouda Day.” That just cracks me up. 

So for the “sMOOches” card, I colored the cow using Copic markers, colored the eyes with a black 3-d gel pen and popped up the head.  Then I colored the flowery part, cut that out and adhered it to a square of patterned paper with only the border stamped.  This card *almost* follows Cindy’s MFT Monday sketch for this week.  I had to move the sentiment because I used ribbon instead of flowers.  I don’t have many Primas and the ones I have just didn’t work…plus I’m Prima “challenged” so it was best for me to just not go there.  😉

For this mouse card, I colored the image with Copics, cut out around the curvy border, then adhered that piece onto the rust paper, again with just the border stamped.  I used Chocolate ink to stamp the cheese on the brown strip, punched the holes and stitched around the three sides of the card front.  All edges are sponged with distress ink.

Thanks so much for visiting!  Have a great day!
