Hello Scrapping Cottage friends! Thanks for taking the time to stop and visit with us today. It's Mary Marsh here bringing you the Saturday edition of the Blog.

Today for your viewing pleasure, I am featuring the new Farm Cow Peeker  + Farm Pig Peeker and created a birthday card. So let's get started with some details on how I created my card.

Design Steps:

I started off by cutting the cow & pig images. I used various colors of cardstock but you could always use white cardstock and then color the images with your favorite coloring medium. Our design team does each of the ways I just mentioned. 

Since these are peeker images I decided to have them peeking from behind a "wood" themed paper. I wanted to create the idea of barn wood or a fence. It's cut at 1 5/8". For the top part I used a blue sky themed designer paper and attached it under the wood paper. It's cut at 2 3/4".  I cut the papers and used double sided tape to attach them to a piece of white card stock. This entire panel is 4 1/4" x 5 1/2".

Next I started the card assembly. I attached the cow & pig peekers behind the wood paper panel. 

Then, I attached a dark brown layering panel. It measures 5 5/8" x 4 1/4". This was attached to a medium blue card base. This measure 5 3/4" x 4 1/2".

To finish off my card, I stamped sentiments in the top corners of the card and then the happy birthday sentiment on the wood paper. And that's it for me for this week. I hope I have given you another idea for using these new peeker dies. See you next Saturday!
