Seems, I have a lot of Washi Tape in my own stash

Hello Everyone, 
Well I'm back today with another card for the Bugaboo Birthday bash challenge
and it's already day 5

I looked at all the farm images and thought this Cow Pile would be great to use and then I found a funny (online) that I am using for my sentiment.


Today's theme - make me laugh.

Well I originally had an idea that would have been funny but I wanted to use a different digi, not the same one from the other day, so I.decided on the one you will see below.

I looked online for some funny sentiments  and found one that is pretty funny, IMHO.
Remember we're talking cows, now.


Well we're coming done the home stretch with this fun contest, 2 more days. Thursday is a color contest and Friday we will have to use the Friday digi.

January Stamp Club Theme Card

Hello Everyone,

Hope you are having a wonderful month. January seems to be flying by but I guess they all fly by anymore. LOL

Last nite we gathered together for the monthly stamp club meeting.

We had a great time, as always. 
It's always great fun catching up with everyone and looking at the cards we've all made.

The January theme was Winter Wonderland.

Have you ever had a card that looks good in person and not good at all in the photograph??
Well this card gave me fits.
The first time I photographed it, the trees in the foreground had no color and on the pic and the trees in the background, I started out using die cuts, using white cs and glitter.
, those die cut trees did not appear to even be there. Too much white.

So, I started over. New card  etc.
On this 2nd card, I used a stamp and stamped the background pine trees.
Assembled everything and added a lighter shade of green to the edges
 of the die cut trees in the foreground,
 but in the pic, it looked yellow - not happy with that at all,
(see below)

Next , I used a medium green and lightly went over that light green edging on the pine trees,
well, it looked better, but just not quite there yet
Lastly, I used a shade darker green and since I was using an alcohol marker,
 I used the blender pen to soften that green outline on the fir trees.
All right!!!
Let me share my final version of the card with you.

There is a lot of glitter on this card,
 however it just doesn't show up very well in this pic.(Sorry)
 I also used dies and an embossing folder 

Whew!!
Sometimes a vision of a card is very hard to get to come to fruition
  and even harder to photograph. LOL

After taking umteen pics, I needed to call this one finished 
or I think I would have decided to redo
 the whole dang card again and I didn't want to do that. 
What a card. LOL

SUPPLIES I USED ON MY PROJECT
Stamps:  Rubber stamps - Stampscapes - Pine Row (One of my fav's)
Paper/Card Stock
:White CS, Creamy Yellow CS, White Glitter paper (used on the Woodlands Trees), Gray CS to add an edge to the lamppost.
