My Project:

So who doesn't love the Create A Critter carts?

They are so fun and have such cute animals,

I just had to use one for this challenge.

I decided on the cow and pulled out my fun

Carta Bella Cowgirl Paper for this card.

The sentiment is from Craftin' Desert Divas and

the sketch is from Die Cuttin' Divas.

I hope that you will join us for this challenge

over at Cut It Up!

Thanks for checkin' in!!!

Craftin' Desert Divas Daily Post - Here's Some Moo-lah

Happy Tuesday!

Today over at Craftin' Desert Divas I am showcasing

one of the fun sentiments from

the "Simply Moovelous" stamp set!

How fun is this set?!?!

You can order this set HERE.

The sentiment I am so excited to be working with

is "Here's some moo-lah"

LOVE it!!!

I created a money/gift card holder and

stamped a circle tag with this sentiment!

They are both cut from Tags, Bags, Boxes and More.

The cow is seriously improvised!

I cut it from the Best Images of 2007 Cricut Cartridge, but

it was originally on the Paper Doll Dress Up cartridge.

I cut it out twice, once in brown and once in ivory.

I then cut the face, the hooves, and the tail sections from

the ivory image and pieced it onto the brown.

I even improvised a shadow.

I inked around the edges of the pieces

and added some rosy cheeks with some chalk ink.

The mouth was also just hand cut.

The bandanna is one of the cuts meant for the cowboy doll,

but I increased the size a little bit to make it fit the cow.

My creative brain shut down after I finished this cow :)

My paper is from Echo Park This & That

and it works perfect with this country cow and

sentiment!

Added some tulle and twine at the top

and called it good! 

Here is a close up: 

SO FUN!!!

Hope you have a "Simply Moo-velous" Day!!!

I am also entering this over at the linky party

for Pause Dream Enjoy.

My flowers are "Iced Got Flowers" from Prima Marketing - LOVE!

I added some small rhinestones to the centers just for fun :)

The ric-rac was just from my stash - not sure where it's from.

I LOVE the sentiment from this new set!

The font is FABULOUS!!!
