A friend is celebrating her birthday in a week or so. She collects anything sheep related, so I usually try and make her a card with a sheep theme.
I bought a preloved set of Stampin' Up stamps, 'Counting Sheep' recently and used them for the first time, choosing one of the three sheep images. I coloured the image with Promarkers, it's not too detailed so I managed the colouring with my dodgy right hand. I die cut a rectangle in a piece of pink card using a new die from the Craft Addiction 'Stitch Craft Fusion Frames (Rectangle)' set. I added a strip of sheep ribbon and stamped a sentiment from the Stampin' Up 'Best Year', using Versafine Clair 'Nocturne'. To finish off my card, I added three punched flowers to match the flowers in the ribbon.
I am joining in the following challenges:
I've got an appointment with the physiotherapist tomorrow about my hand. I've been doing all the finger exercises, so hopefully I will get the all clear to drive again. It's been a long seven weeks!
oh so cute. So much detail and beauty ... and lovely colour choice. ♥

What a cute card, and perfect for your friend. I hope your appointment went well!
ReplyDeleteA fabulous fun card for your friend
ReplyDeleteOnly just spotted this one thanks to Mr. Blogger's reluctance to update my blog list on a regular basis - it's so random too. Some get moved and others not which is odd really, and irritating. Love those SU sheep, they are such characters. Hope your physio appointment had a positive outcome.
ReplyDeleteThis is a fun sheep image Liz and I love the pink background and ribbon you've used and the CA frame looks great too. Fingers crossed re. the driving. x
ReplyDeleteThe sheep image is a fun one, but I just love the sheep ribbon! She must be so happy with this one! Hugs, Gerrina

ReplyDeleteYour sheep themed birthday card feels so sweet and personal with the way you paired that adorable stamped image with the sheep ribbon, and the soft Promarker coloring works beautifully inside the stitched frame while the trio of punched flowers adds just the right touch of detail, creating a design that feels thoughtful, coordinated, and perfect for someone who loves all things sheep.
