How adorable is this Halloween card with the Cutest Cow Punch?

WHAT I LOVE! Crisp, solid ink perfection. I used my Mini MISTI to double stamp “hey” in Tuxedo Black Memento Ink. The stamp is from Stampin’ Up! Saying Hey stamp set, one of my favorite things. Anyone note the connection between “hey” and “hay” for my Halloween cow? I love little things like that.
