Counting Sheep / Stamping Up
Counting Sheep from Stampin Up is a lovely Stamp and Die set which is in the Sale a-bration catalogue and has been launched today along with the New Mini Seasonal Catalogue. There are lots of exciting goodies. Dont forget to add the August Hostess Code FGMDE3B2 to your order for an extra fee gift from me.
For every £45 spent in the Annual or New Mini Catalogue you can purchase a free gift from the Sale a-bration catalogue. Take a look at here.
Don’t you just love these sheep! Especially when you can dress them in pretty papers. The DSP Hand Penned was especially good as it looked like curly wool. Well I thought so 🙂 If you don’t want to add the extra paper then you can just colour in the sheep once you have stamped them.
The gate die was cut out of a wood looking DSP called Beauty Of The Earth, however using a brown cardstock would work just as well.
Just adding a small amount of Balmy Blue Ink to the top of the card to represent the sky certainly brought it to life, along with the tufts of grass at the bottom.
I have used the stampin up blends which are lovely and easy to use and are great to add shading to your decorations.  Stampin’ Blends alcohol markers help you create highlights and shadows for a 3D colouring effect. Use these markers with the Stampin’ Blends Color Lifter for additional blending possibilities.
