Good Morning everyone
I was asked to make a 70th birthday card for a lady which wasn't girly with flowers, she shows prize sheep and likes patchworking so that got my little grey cells whirling! I dug out my Katzelkraft sheep stamp and crealies patchwork die set. I knew i wanted to give the sheep fancy jumpers so i found the paper in my stash for that first and then went looking for something to match in colour for the background and found this ideal green paper with small pink flowers which is ideal to give the impression of a summer meadow
Approx size 6x6". I first stamped the sheep 4 times onto white pearl cardstock and 4 times onto the patterned paper, i cut cut the body part out of the paper and pieced onto the white version.
I die cut the largest die in the patchwork set from folded white pearl cardstock to form my cardbase and then the patchwork layer dies from the patterned paper and adhered onto the base. I die cut a large circle from white vellum which i adhered to the bottom left with a dab of glue in the middle which would be hidden by the sheep.
I gently shaped the sheep and added with glue gel for dimension.
Computer printed sentiments onto more of the white pearl cardstock and die cut into speech bubble and adhered with glue gel.
Im not sure these sheep would win gold cup prizes in shows but they might win a prize for most colourful sheep
and the insert. I had another sheet of the 6x6" paper i used for their jumpers so die cut to fit inside, added a die cut white pearl and then another sheep.
Items Used:
Katzelkraft stamp set ' farm animals'
Crealies patchwork die set
Memory box stitched octogen die
Stitched circle die
Speech bubble dies
Patterned paper
Vellum
White pearl cardstock
Thank you all for stopping by. Emmax
