Sheep in a Hat

Hello.  Welcome.  I was lucky enough to win the Cards Und More September challenge and they invited me to guest design for their October Anything Goes with an Autumn theme challenge.  Here's what I came up with.


I made a smooshed background with distress inks and stamped the lovely Lost Coast Designs Leaves Background, also with distress inks.  I stamped the sheep and re-mixed sentiment from Penny Black's Animal Kingdom stamp set and embossed with black powder.  I removed some colour from the sheep with a baby wipe and added some highlights with white, red and green gel pens.  I cut the panel with Stamplorations Double Stitch Rectangle die and mounted on a gold stardream card base.  Love that sheep in a bowler!!

Thanks for dropping by.  I'm off to enjoy the sunshine that has unexpectedly arrived today after weeks of rain!!  Hugz
