Birthday card for a vet.

We had a great dry day today, got lots of my pots cleared out in the garden and a few planted up.  I got the most beautiful Dianthus, a sort of deep pink with pretty white edges, so it's now sitting pride of place at our back door :)

This card was a special request for a student vet who loves cows and doesn't like horses!  I used these farm animals from MFT and chalked the sky and added a few splatters for good measure.  I hadn't intended to add the red enamel dots but I had an oops that needed covering ;)
My 21 is die cut with silver card.

Fun card. I think the red dots add a nice bit of color. !!line of farm animals makes me smile. They all look like they're a little scared of the student vet and what she might do!

Such a cute card, and the oops was your opportunity to add more texture to your card. 😊

This card is so adorable! And I also enjoyed your write-up so much! I liked this card even before I read the story behind it, but when I saw how you'd personalized it with cows and no horses, it made me smile even more. I love cards that are made for a specific person for a specific reason and you've done that perfectly here. I also laughed at your red dots to cover an "ooops" moment. I think we're all experts at the fine art of mistake-camouflage! Thanks for sharing your talents in art and writing with us for this week's Simon Says Stamp Monday Challenge!

Leaving you with the inspiration of the Scripture in Jeremiah 17:7 which says, “Blessed is the man who trusts in the Lord, whose trust is the Lord."
