Spring Sheep
This was created for Splitcoaststampers.com color challenge. We were challenge to use the colors Certainly Celery, Pumpkin Pie and Orchid Opulence. Here is a link to the challenge: http://www.splitcoaststampers.com/forums/showthread.php?t=325717
I started out on Whisper White card stock and brayered on Orchid Opulence on the top for the sky and Pumpkin Pie for the hills in the background. Stamp the hills in Pumpkin Pie and grasses in Certainly Celery. Cut two pieces of Certainly Celery card stock for the grass with an Exacto Knife, sponge Certainly Celery at the bottom of both pieces to simulate shadow. Stamped Trees in Black and flowers in the trees with White and Pumpkin Pie. Stamped Sentiment in White and went over it with a White Gel Pen to make it more noticeable.
Stamped Sheep on separate piece of Whisper White card stock in Black and cut it out with an Exacto Knife.
Assembled card and stamped the flowers along the bottom of card with Craft White.
Flowers were punched from Whisper White and Orchid Opulence card stock.

I am so excited about your blog!!! I love looking at all of your beautiful artwork. Thank you for sharing your talents, and for providing the details of how you make your cards. You inspire and bring joy
Congratulations on your new blog. I came across your work by accident and I must say that I’m quite impressed, both with your use of colour and your composition. I’m very envious.
I’d love to be able to buy some of the SU inks and stamps you use but they’re not generally available in the UK.
I look forward to reading your future posts.
