This was my first card using the June Product of the Month: the Wild Bunch stamp set. And I can’t wait to color the rest of the adorable critters. I was playing along with two challenges for this card: a team challenge to use one new In Color, and the Global Design Project weekly challenge which is an animal theme.
I wanted a lot of texture for this card, so I started by embossing the Secret Sea background with the Lazy Daisy Embossing Folder. The next two layers use the Party Banner Dies with a piece of Bloom Boutique DSP and a Golden Glow mat. The scalloped mat and inner circle both have stitching which adds even more interest. With all these different layers and patterns I feel like there is a lot to look at. But the star of this card is the little highland cow, of course! Isn’t she cute?!!

Okay, let’s get to the coloring details of this card. Golden Glow was not the first color I though of for this little lady. However, since I was needing an In Color for the team challenge I though I would give it a try. And it worked great! I brought in Pecan Pie for the shadows on the cow, Ivory for the horns and Barely Blush for the nose and ears. So what do you think? Is she wild, or just plain adorable?
Please let me know in the comments if you have any questions on how I put this card together, or on the coloring techniques.
