Birthday sheep

Good Morning everyone

I made this sheep themed card for my dads birthday as he keeps a few sheep, i made a couple of similar Christmas cards too which are right at the bottom of the post.

I first stamped the fab sheep and hats from hobbyart stamps and watercoloured with distress & oxide inks and cut them out.  

I made  my double z fold card blank out of card white - i can't remember the exact size but had to use A3 to start with. I used these fab papers from the works which reminded me of a green meadow for the sheep to roam in, for the front layers i tore some of the papers to give a grass like edge for the sheep to stand on. I then added the sheep with pinflair glue gel for dimension.

Sentiment die cut using alpha block dies and a few white seagulls and rabbits which we also see in our fields.  

Showing a different angle - dad loved it so thats good! 

Items Used:

Hobbyart ltd stamps ' CS110D Baa-Humbug'

12x12 paper pad from the works 'nature'

OI Rabbit & seagull dies

alpha dies

and while i was at it I made a Christmas version for 3 of my nieces 

This time using Christmassy papers to build up my scene and a little die cut Christmas tree which they have decorated with red glitter baubles -i used a hole punch to make my baubles - the perfect size for the tree.  I added 2 of the front sheep on wobblers which my nieces loved.  A few die cut snowflakes to finish.

I was lucky to also get these fab hedgehog stamps from hobbyart so i made a hedgehog version for my other 2 nieces.  Again papers from the works and i added red stickles glitter glue to all the baubles for some sparkle.  2 of the hedgehogs are on wobblers - these wobblers are new to me - love them, i think i might be wobbling a lot of things on my cards in 2024😁 - such great fun- I only found out they existed from a craft friend in America and a search on amazon and i found lots of them here in the UK.
