I love the various fun animal stamps that Stampin’ Up! artists come up with. They are always spot on in terms of their cuteness. When I saw the Counting Sheep in the Sale-A-Bration catalog I was drawn to one particularly. This one is the star of my card today.
I wanted to play along with a Color Challenge from Global Design Project. The colors are the ones I have used here today. They helped me to create the little barn yard scene. Here is the banner.
Paper
The paper that I picked for the color challenge are from the You’re A Peach Designer Series Paper. The sky and grass are the reverse side of some of the peach papers. As soon as I had my scene in my head, I knew which papers I needed and I think they are great. The card base is Pale Papaya, as is the sheeps lips and eyeliner!
The fence is made using Crumb Cake cardstock and cut with the matching Sheep Dies. I cut two pieces and they fit the size of my layer perfectly.
Stamps
This is the sheep that got my attention. I could just see her, with her eyeliner and lip gloss, being the center of attention. To further carrying that theme I placed her on top of the fence like she is performing, or maybe just needed to be seen!
The banner hanging on the fence is another stamp from the set. You Are Amazing is always a good stamp to have on hand. For this application, I stamped it and then rough cut some tears in the banner. I figure someone tried to eat it!
Finishing Touches
The final touch for this card was adding the Sun. It is also in the Sheep Dies and I love the stitching around the center. Since I have used it several times this week, you know I am loving the In Color Shimmer Vellum from the Annual Catalog. I used the Pale Papaya Vellum for the sun. It is finished off with a 2021-2023 In Color Jewel in Pale Papaya as well.
