Connie's card and a sunny day!

Hello lovelies - how are you? I hope you re well and have been enjoying the weather - its been stunning here! I went to the hairdressers today and got highlights done then went to see about my car - which I will get on Friday! All very exciting! I also cut the first asparagus in the garden today - mum and dad came over and we enjoyed eating it - Shaun would never have believed it was so very early! He always loved his asparagus. Bless him.

Anyway - I saw this image on the card I'm showing today over at tammyspot  (thanks Tammy)and had to get it - the recipient of my card is cow mad and is also going through a bit of a religious phase - I thought this really fit the bill!



I used a joggles mask and ripe persimmon dsitress ink too. Colouring of the cow was with spectrum noir pencils. 

I hope you have a great evening and a fab wednesday!

Big hugs!

Rachel xx

  5. Such a great card Rachel, love the sentiment. Home grown asparagus sounds delicious, my tomato plants and runner beans are just showing their heads.
    I miss the scene challenges too.
