I simply couldn't resist joining in with this week's Vintage/Polka Dots Challenge at A Day for Daisies, certainly not once I saw this sweet freebie, Cow Dress, provided for this challenge:
I attached the purple tulle and wavy border with gold brads, which I heat-embossed in shiny purple.The wavy shape was cut from a two-tone purple Core'dinations cardstock with a Sizzix die, and I sanded it to add dimension.
"Purple Cow," The Lark, 1895 |
Check out how the Burgess poem was originally presented in 1895 (left). Here's my version:
I never saw a purple calf,
I never thought to see one.
But if they are this cute by half,
I'd rather be than see one!
