A friend who collects anything 'sheep' related has a birthday next week. I saw this Crafter's Companion stamp a few months ago, which came with the sentiment, and knew it would be just perfect for her card.
Without thinking, I stamped the image with a Versafine ink pad. Big mistake! I used Promarkers to colour in the image and it looked terrible....I mean, really terrible! Then a light came on in my brain and I remembered that I should have used my Memento ink pad. This isn't the first time I've done this, so my box of Promarkers now has a label on the lid 'Stamp with Memento!'. So the stamped image went in the bin and I started again. The embossing folder was a freebie with a craft magazine and I used a Die-namics 'Fresh Cut Grass' die with a snippet of green card to add a little colour across the middle.
I would like to enter my card for the following challenges:
Adorable image and love the embossed background.
ReplyDeleteAn adorable, fun image on this Liz. The embossing is pretty too, and I like the die cut grass as well.
