Ok So I need to do a cake for a friend and she wants...ok ready for this....she wants me to incorporate Rainbows, Blue Hyndrangeas, Cows, and bright green grass......
My brain has shut off! every design I think of is SOOO gaudy!!!
HELP!! THANKS!!!
A cow grazing on a green grass pasture with hydrangeas growing here and there, and a rainbow standing behind it?
Is it a sheet cake or tiered?
That's a lot of unique elements for one cake...it will be hard not to make it gaudy! I suppose you could do a cow print background, topped with blue hydrangeas and a rainbow.....nope...still gaudy! Or you could do tiers...cows, rainbows and flowers...yep...still a little much. Oh what the heck...go for it and make it loud and funky. I don't think I've seen too many elegant or sophisticated cakes that had cows and rainbows involved! Good luck! 
Green grass board... Vertical rainbow stripes on bottom tier... Cow print top tier, topped with hydrangeas?
Yikes. This one has SO been bugging me.
I have NEVER seen an elegant cow print!
The nearest to sophistication I can think of is maybe a painted pastoral scene.
Again, yikes! I agree with Carmijok. It sounds like it might be a time to embrace the funky! Best of luck to you. Seriously!
To add an extra issue its a gluten free cake so it's only going to be 1 layer. I could do a second 1 layer cake for everyone else and transfer some of the decorations over to it!

OMG!!! 
Bless your heart! I wished I could help but maybe the idea to make it loud and funky is the way to go! Good luck!
Actually, that doesn't sound too tough. I was going to suggest similar to SugarFiend. I bet it will be cute.
I just may try sugarfiends idea....it sounds the least gaudy than anything I have thought of!

I love my friend dearly but she really know how to challenge me!! LOL
Or you could do something like this cake, but with a cow instead of a unicorn.

What about just doing a meadow with cows and hydrangea bushes, then put the rainbow on the inside of the cake?

Here is a cow with a rainbow. You could just make the flowers be hydrangeas.

How about a giant cow cake? Or maybe not, but it is pretty amazing!

WOW that last cake was CRAZY!!! HAHAH But I really did like the first one you had with the unicorn on it. Thanks so much for the help!!
What about a small(er!) 3d cow cake sitting on green grass covered board with hydrangeas and a rainbow going over the cow diagonally from one corner of the board to the opposite? - Just variations on the above ideas really
