I never saw a purple cow.
I never hope to see one.
But I can tell you anyhow
I'd rather see than be one.
I used to love this poem and even had a little purple cow statue. Or maybe I loved the poem because I loved that purple cow. No matter, it inspired me to make this card using cows instead of flamingos.
I cut the cows from Create a Critter and stamped their faces with a Peachy Keen stamp. Unfortunately the photo doesn't show the winking face on the purple cow. If I had it to do over, I would use a lighter purple. I printed the sentiment on the computer and inked the grass with Peeled Paint Distress Ink.
I also got a chance to do another card for my homework for the Summer Camp 2 online class. This is my 10 Minute Challenge.
I cut the banners from the My Craft Spot banner dies in various polka dot papers. The white panel is cut 5 1/2 by 3 3/4 and mounted on foam tape to a gold paper. The sentiment is from PTI's Birthday Bash stamped in Memento Tuxedo Black. I used a Zig pen to add the line and swirls carrying the banners. 10 minutes on the dot! It would have been a little quicker but I dropped my Cuttlebug plates and had trouble getting the paper off the foam tape.
I am also entering this card in challenge at CAS-ual Friday.
I'm glad you stopped by today. Please leave a comment so I know you were here and have yourself a wonderful day.

Love the purple cow - (isn't that a cocktail? I wouldn't know, being a Salvation Army girl, myself! lol!) Great, creative take on this week's Muse - thanks for playing along!
Thanks, Nancy. I'm usually the one who sees all the typos in everything but this one I read at least 3 times and missed it. It's corrected now.
