Morning readers,
Why is it that, as soon as the weather warms up ... I want to make Christmas cards? There's simply no logic, is there?!?!?
I've a make to share with you today .... yes, it's a CHRISTMAS card but, in my defence, I got new stash for my recent birthday so ..... had to get inked - didn't it? These cows are, IMHO, fabulous and I suspect it won't be long before I find that I have inked them all!

Amusing festive make . . . and amusing monster make. Both terrific and quirky.
Happy Midweek.
Hugs, Sarn xxx
Great card,thanks for joining us @ CWTC. X
I love your quirky cow and a fun set of stamps to be gifted, and then your CASEing of Lauren's pretty card a different quirky character though, and love the stencilling behind it and the other two elements which are the same, but the whole feel of the card is different with your own elements, i.e. red card and peachy coloured stencilling. Great makes! x
Lovely! and a very happy belated birthday xx
When I saw those cows on your birthday post, Kathy, I couldn't wait to see you make cards with them! They are hysterical and I love your card! I also love your excellent CASE of Lauren's card! I hope you are still keeping well and thank you for sharing with everyone at NBUS! So glad to hear my card did arrive! Hugs, Darnell
I agree - that cow image is fabulous. A cow for Christmas cards? Who would have thought it would look so good? Thank you for joining us at The Holly and Ivy Christmas Challenge xx Lynda DT
Hhahah, the cow image is priceless and the sentiment, hahah! Well done, and love the touch of bling. So glad you joined is at Christmas with the Cuties!
