If you love critter cards, scene building, and Copic coloring, this cheerful handmade card is full of inspiration for your next crafting project.
Adorable Highland Cow Card Idea for Summer
These sweet Highland cows absolutely steal the show on this handmade summer card. I used the Chillin’ With The Herd stamp set to create a fun picnic scene filled with personality and charm.
The cow images were colored with Copic markers using warm browns and soft neutrals for their fluffy fur. Their bright summer outfits add the perfect pop of color and help bring the entire card scene to life.
The playful sentiment:
“Let’s graze and laze all SUMMER long”nadds the perfect finishing touch for a lighthearted summer greeting card.
Copic Coloring Details for Highland Cows
Highland cows are incredibly fun to color with Copics because of their shaggy hair and textured fur. I used layered Copic coloring techniques to create depth, highlights, and soft dimension throughout the images.
The warm browns paired with vibrant orange, pink, and denim blue create a cheerful summertime color palette that feels both playful and cozy.
If you enjoy coloring farm animals or critter stamps, these adorable cows are perfect for practicing fur texture and simple shading techniques.
How to Create a Layered Summer Scene Card
To create this dimensional summer scene card, I layered several grassy hill die cuts across the card front. The layered hills help add movement and depth while framing the picnic scene beautifully.
For the sky, I used soft ink blending behind a bubbly cloud border die to create a bright and airy summer background. The cloud border naturally draws your eye upward toward the sentiment while keeping the overall design clean and balanced.
Small details like the picnic basket, carrots, bread, and tiny accessories help tell the story and make this handmade card feel extra special.
