Hello!
Thanks for stopping in today!
So. You'd think that since my favorite color is purple that I would have a great stash of purple paper. Wrong. It is not easy to find purple paper. I mean REAL PURPLE. Not lavender. I have lavender. But this fun cow just seemed too boisterous for lavender! This is one of my new High Hopes stamps and I really wanted to use it. I finally settled on this designer paper that comes pre-glittered...but it really wasn't the right shade of purple. :( ugh. ugh. ugh.
This is another card that I really don't like. :( I really didn't want to even post it. But how can I not have a card for my own card challenge and my own birthday themed one at that!? It didn't help that I didn't start working on this card until 9:30 ish last night (Wednesday night). Well, the good news is that the talented Inspiration Team came through and made some GORGEOUS cards! At least I am wise enough to surround myself with a creative crew! ;) So make sure you check out their blogs and leave them a little comment love! They deserve it!
I hope that you will participate in this weeks 3 Clover Thursday challenge!
Have a Jolly Thursday!

How fun is that cow! I have a thing for cows?? Not sure what it is, lol, but I think they are so cute in the "rubber stamping world". That and hedgehogs. Anyway this card is really cute.
The card is great though I agree it is hard to find the right shade of purple pattern paper! The card is wonderful though...it truly is.
That image is so darn cute, my eye was drawn righ to it rather than the papers. Some colors are really had to match. Love you card!
That is so cute, Kerry! I have a sheet of that dp that I keep meaning to use. Love it!

Cute Cow (What you didn't color it purple, I'm shocked!) - Adorable card and I so agree about it being hard to find purple designer paper.
Cute Kerry!
Great card and hoping you have a wonderful birthday planned ;-)
Purple...goodness I didn't realize how hard it was to find and to photograph too! YIKES! Love that HH cow...caa-uuuuute!
What an adorable card. I love all the purple and the details that you included. Great work!
It's a cute card! I love all the "extras" you added/did.
What an adorable (and purple) card :) BTW, everytime I look at myself in a mirror today, I see Glitter! Yes, I'll have to try the stickles.
I'll be uploading card #2 tomorrow morning.
Okay, No I will tell again - what you don't like about this card?
It is so cute and fun! Papers are matching, coloring is perfect!
I love this card, Kerry!
