As voted for by my Instagram and Facebook followers here is the tutorial for the winning card, I hope you enjoy it. 

Firstly I took some white 300gsm card stock and cut one piece at 4 1/4x5 1/2 inches and another at 4 1/4x11 inches, I then also cut some 300gsm Aquafine watercolour paper at 4 1/4x5 1/2. Once I had done that I took the cow stamp from the My Favorite Things 'The whole herd' Stamp set and stamped it onto the water colour paper in Versafine Black Onyx ink.

I then also stamped it straight onto some masking paper without having to re-ink my stamp.

I cut out the image from the masking paper and placed it over the stamped image, making sure to cover the tail too.

I then stamped the same cow image either side of the masked cow to make it look like they are standing behind the middle cow, and peeled off the masking paper.

Using black soot Distress ink, I pressed the ink pad down onto an acrylic block and used a damp paint brush to pick up the ink.

Using the paint brush I then colour in the areas I wanted to be darkest with the ink, I then dipped the paintbrush in water and dabbed off the excess with tissue and blended the colour in from the edges where I had coloured.

Once I was happy with how it looked, I then repeated the same steps for the white areas which I used 'Weathered Wood' Distress ink, and for the noses which I used 'Spun sugar' Distress ink. I then dried it with my heat tool.

I took the Lawnfawn 3 1/2 inch stitched circle die and placed it over the area I roughly wanted to paint. I drew around the circle die in pencil to give me a guide but then rubbed it out so that I could only just see the outline.

Using the same technique as before, I then used 'Pumice stone' Distress ink to colour in the ground area around the cows, adding water to fade the colour outwards.

I then repeated that step again for the sky using 'Tumbled glass' distress ink.

 I cut the water colour piece out using my scissors to slightly bigger than the circle die.

I then coloured in the cows noses with my Clear Wink of Stella glitter brush pen to add a bit of shimmer, and set it aside to dry.

I lay everything out on my piece of white card stock so that I could make sure I cut the circle in the right place, Once I was happy with the layout I then ran it through my Big-shot machine and then stamped the sentiment in Mama Elephant Creative colour 'Plumberry' ink.

 Whilst the ink was still wet I sprinkled clear embossing powder over the sentiment and shock off the excess. I then heated it with my heat tool until it was melted.

 Using a black fine liner pen I then drew faux sticking around the outside of the circle.

I placed the finished piece over the card base I prepared earlier and used a pencil to make a few marks where the circle would be, I then stuck down the water colour piece using double sided sticky tape.

I put 3d foam squares (I used small ones as that is all I had, but you could use bigger ones to save you some time) all over the back of the card and stuck it onto the card base. Finally to finish it off I used my We R Memory keeps corner chompers on the 1/2 inch setting to round the top 2 corners of the card.

And there we go :) I really hope you enjoyed seeing how I made this card, I hope to be back again soon with another new tutorial, so be sure to stop by again soon.
