New High Hopes Image:Takin' A Break (Part 2)

Hello and Happy Friday!  This week one of my great friends (also she was my Maid of Honor) celebrated her 40th Birthday.  We met in High School, we share the same name with the same rare spelling and we both LOVE cows -  and this is the card that I made for her....

 I know what you are thinking, hey she used this image already- well yes I did and I just wanted to show you that not every cow has to be black & white.  At the end of the post I will show you my two "Takin' A Break" cards side by side so that you can see that this image is so easily used with different colours and that they look completely different.

Here is a look at the inside of the card....
