Here's a little project I made for a pen pal. I hope she likes it! We're both huge fans of country living and chickens, although I went with cows! But it's country living! lol So I hope it is a huge hit with her. It's a letter writing kit from The Cutting Cafe. Check it out here. There is a video that goes along with it and you can view that here.
Click on the images for a closer look!
Don't you love the kisser on that cow!?! lol I couldn't STOP myself! :p I even gave her eyelashes! Ha!
I added some stationary that comes with the Let's Write a Letter - Printable Stamp Set at The Cutting Cafe and added a couple of A2 cards that fit so nicely in the pockets. The banner and fence die cuts and cow and sentiment rubber stamps are from La-La Land Crafts April 2016 Kit. The sunflower is a rubber stamp I've had since 2006 and for the life of me, I couldn't tell you who it's from! I unmounted it and at the time, thought I'd always remember who the maker was! Ugh! It's a lie I continue to tell myself to this very day! lol I colored the cow and the sunflower with Copic markers. I added brown Liquid Applique to the center of the flower and then dabbed it with some brown chalks to make it darker. The burlap ribbon is from Michael's. Patterned card stock is from The Paper Studio at Hobby Lobby called Farm Fresh. I think I'll make a couple more for some other pen pals! lol It was quick and easy to put together. I love how it came out! :)
