Bessie Spinner Square Pop-Up

Hello my crafty friends

It's Fun Fold Friday here on my blog and I have a humorous card to share today. I think the new cow 'Bennie/Bessie' from Riley & Company is so much fun! Here I dressed her up with the Sophie's Dress Up images and the colouring was for Day 27 of the 30 day colouring challenge I'd been participating in on Instagram. It was fun getting her onto a card, and I chose Karen Burniston's Spinner Square Pop-Up for my card base today.


Once again I used the make up brushes to add colour to the background panel and thought I'd tell you more about them in case you are unfamiliar with these cheap 'Life Changing Blending Brushes'. My friend Betty told me about them when she was visiting us in Arizona in March. I was skeptical but knew she would not steer me wrong. I had not paid any attention to all the buzz about these brushes, simply because of the price. Upwards of $40 for a set of brushes when I already have brushes and sponges for stencils? Not for me, no matter HOW wonderful they are. Or so I thought, ha ha.

We each picked up the cheap set from Amazon down there and I was immediately hooked. I am using them almost daily now! At the end of my post I will add a link from Amazon.ca in case you are interested. If you are reading my blog from a different country than Canada you will know what to look for at least. All the US people have their own favourite shopping sites I'm sure.


When you open the card, the funny saying spins out from behind the cow panel.


I have a YouTube video so you can see the card in action:

This is not an affiliate link - I don't get a commission or any kind of compensation. But I am in love with the brushes and just wanted to share the information in case any of my Canadian peeps are interested. There are lots of tutorials online using the 'Life Changing Blending Brushes' where you can see why I like them so much.
