Cutest Cows (for CSF 823)

This week on Create With Stamping Friends we have a sketch challenge. I started off in one direction (see below) then had to re-think the whole theme of my card when I discovered that the stamp set I used had retired! (insert forehead slap) So I switched to use Cutest Cows šŸ® šŸ¤ !

Here’s the sketch:

And here’s my card:

Now let’s go to Create With Stamping Friends to see what the other designers have created with this sketch!

I told you I would show you my original card, so here it is. My idea was to go nautical, but the stamp set, Hope & Prayers, has retired.
