It's your birthday!

I have a card for our midway post over at

STAMPING SENSATIONS

where the theme of September's challenge is

anything goes with the option of animal magic!

We do of course, have a lovely prize up for grabs,

in fact two lovely prizes from

AALL AND CREATE

so come and join us!!

For my card today I pulled out an old stamp set called

Counting Sheep (SU).

I inked up my background paper in granny apple green ink

then stamped, cut and coloured the sheep and hats

from that set, using markers.

I stamped some sparkles in the background then

added my sheep and hats along with a few

stamped blades of grass.

The sentiment was stamped along the bottom.

I layered it all onto matching green card and then

onto my card base.

I searched through my stamp sets and found the little cake

from Tabs for Everything (SU) which fitted perfectly

in the sheep's foot!

Down on the farm!

It's Michele's turn to choose the theme over at

TAG TUESDAY

and she wants to see farm animals!

I have gone with a birthday sheep using Counting Sheep stamp set.

I added grass and some clouds and of course his party hat!

We had a quick scoot to the other side of Belfast and back

this morning as our daughter had to pick up some equipment

for her new job.

She is now a Concept Designer for Paper Owl and will be

designing for a programme appearing on CBeebies!!

So proud of her. She has spent the last seven years in a job she hates

but kept working away on her art in the evenings.

Paid her dues for sure and  we are so proud!

Happy Monday!

What a mixed up weekend of weather that was!!

Hopefully this little sheep was sheltered out of the storms lol.

I am starting the week with card sketch 11 following

Kendra's Card Challenge 3.

Today I have used the cute little stamp set called

COUNTING SHEEP.

You can add it to your basket for free when you spend £45 or more.

It has been tied into my paper pieces using some of the same paper

and some granny apple green card.

He has been coloured using

crumb cake blends and I added some cinnamon ribbon to finish.

I got the cute Counting Sheet stamp set with

On hindsight I wish I had of put clouds as his embellishments,

another learning curve 😂 but easy to change.
