Haute Holstein

OK, someone asked me for a cow but I can't find the email - maybe it was in a comment.  I'm thinking this isn't exactly what they had in mind but this is what the Inspiration Fairy did.

Well, it was the Inspiration Fairy AND Eileen the glitter guru....

I handed Eileen the cow to get a little shine on the black hoofs and the little spotted beast came back with shiny feet AND fake eyelashes.  So then I had to add the jewelry.  You can "un-glam" her if you need a basic cow.  But I think she is just FAB like this!

sorry for the blur - I guess I need practice with my camera for close-ups

Body - 2.25 x 1.5 rectangle rounded by sticking in large circle punch
Legs - Snowflake trimmed – black marker on hoofs
Tail – ring from large oval around small HOLE – small heart to heart snipped like grass
Head – designer label punched at top with 1 inch circle
Ears - ¾ circle repunched
Nose – small oval
Nostrils – word window re-punched
Mouth – piece of large oval
Eyes – piece of word window cut at slant – word window for white part too (these are pre-lash directions)

  4. I like "Sweet Ellen" because I think that is the true Ellen :<) but maybe "Crafty Girl" ('crafty' as in skillful, clever, sly, cunning)might be more to your liking? :<)

    I know that you will find a great name, in the meantime I am wishing you a great day today!
