C4C31~Herd it's your birthday!

This is a variation of a card I made for a class I taught at my LSS, Loving Hands Creations. I was about to post the card when I realized that it fit in with this week’s challenge over at Crazy 4 Challenges. The challenge was to make a card using kraft cardstock as the base. I started with the kraft base and used a Cuttlebug embossing folder to give it extra texture. Unfortunately, I don’t recall the manufacturer of the sunflower designer paper. This was paper I found in my stash from a couple years ago. The paper was not marked, and it was before I realized I should label my papers with the manufacturer. The black designer paper is from Die Cuts with a View. I colored the cow stamp with Copic Markers. For the background, I sponged on blue and green distressed ink, and then added some blades of grass with the markers. I used Pop Dots to adhere the cow to the background. The sentiment was computer generated and printed onto the kraft cardstock. I sponged the edges of the sentiment tag with Sand Memento Ink.

Copic Markers used: N5, N7, N9, C0, R20, YR01, E40, E31, E33, E35, Y21, Y26, Y28, BV31
