Hopefully you can tell from the second photo that the wooden cow is attached to the scalloped stripy card, with the spotty card on the inside. I love these cows - I bought them when I first started card making and they're so handy for fun cards... it's got dangly legs which are hiding a bit in the stripy pattern! I've a horrible feeling this might be my last one though, and I don't know if they're available anymore. Papers are Pink Petticoat, printed onto linen card and the black card is core'dinations. Oh, and I cut an extra circle of card to use as a 'frame' around the circle for a bit of definition.
I'm also entering my card for the following challenges:
- CAS-ual Fridays - black & white (no other colours allowed)
- Charisma Cardz - clean & simple
So my conversation with hubby when I'd finished my card went something like this:
Hubby - Oh I like that... I thought you were making Andrew's card though?
Me - (puzzled) This is Andrew's card
Hubby - Oh... well it's nice, but I'm not sure if he'll like it
Me - Why?
Hubby - Well isn't it a bit girly?
Me - (even more puzzled) What's girly about it?
Hubby - It's got a cow on, cows are girls... shouldn't it have a bull on?
Ermmm seriously? Can I not have a cow on a man's card? Someone tell me my hubby is being ridiculous before I get all paranoid and feel forced to make another one before his birthday (which is tomorrow!).

I think your card is brilliant, I really like the spots and stripes. I asked Andy his opinion on the card and he said it's not girly at all, which btw is exactly what I thought.

What a fun card and of course it isn't girly. Men can be so silly at times, lol!
It's a fabulous card Lisa... the cow is terrific... suitable for a chap or a lady I would say... but this one deffo has the masculine edge with the choice of papers etc!
Thanks so much
