Thank Ewe

Sunday, 15 November 2015

I have put together a thank you card with autumn colours.

1. Start by stamping autumn leaves randomly over the front of the card, varying the orientation of the leaves. Here I have used two leaf stamps from the Simon Says Stamp Apple of my Pie stamp set.

2. Colour the leaves using YO3, RD4, YL2, OR4, YG3 and OL3, infusing the pen 8-10 seconds each time. For the smaller leaves infuse the pen for 4-6 seconds.

3. Stamp the berry stamp in red ink to fill in any extra gaps in the leaf design.

4. Stamp the sheep and bow from the lawn fawn baaah humbug stamp set on a separate piece of white cardstock.

5. Colour the sheep with BK4 and CG8. Infuse the pen for 10 seconds for the sheep and 5-8 seconds for the face, hands and feet. To make the sheep look fluffy, use the colourless blender pen to colour circles over the wool of the sheep.

6. Colour the bow with RD4 infusing the pen for 5 seconds.


7. Put the card together by stamping the sentiment onto a strip of red cardstock using white heat embossing powder. Attach this onto a strip of gold glittered card stock. Pop the sheep up on the card using 3m foam tape on the card.
