When I saw this Highland Cow image at Kit and Clowder, I knew right away the birthday I was going to color it up for.
The card I made is called a bridge card and the bridge part is the fence in front of the cow.
I printed out the background on a full piece of light weight white cardstock and cut the pieces to fit and glue over each section.
The bridge part was a fence image printed, flipped over as an opposite and printed again. I fussy cut it and glued the largest fence post to the right side and the left large fence post, leaving the center loose. I pressed it flat to see where I needed to cut and match up the middle to attach at the perfect length. I was lucky that the both sides and the length I needed ended up being perfectly lined up where the two fence post met in the middle!
The Highland cow was large and I wanted it to be the focus of the card and the barn in the background. The cow is glued to a crossbar to show distance between the fence and barn.
The highland cow just looks like she is ready to go to a birthday party with her birthday hat of flowers on her head!

Definitely
not your normal A2 card and it BARELY fits in the 6"x9"manila
envelope. The base was a 11"x 5 3/4" and the two sides were folded at 1
1/2" each.
She got popped into the mail and on her way to wish a dear friend Happy Birthday!

Holy cow, Netta, your card is spectacular! I adore cows but this one has stolen my heart. I can't say enough about your design. I wish I were the friend who was at the receiving end but I'm thankful I got to see it in our Creative Creases Challenge!

Netta, this card (and the sweet Highland Cow) is truly amazing. I can't say enough about how you used the fold to create such a wonderful piece. Thank you for entering Creative Creases Challenge #61. See you for #62.
