Sheep Themed Thank You Card

Posted on April 16, 2023April 9, 2023 by Mo Rootes

Today I have been using the sweet On the Farm stamp set to make a pretty water coloured thank you card.

The colours used in this project are:

To recreate the sheep thank you card, you will need:

Sahara Sand card base – 8¼” by 5⅞” – scored at 4⅛”
Garden Green card – 3¼” by 2⅝”
Fluid 100 card – 3⅛” by 2½”
Basic White card – 5½” by 3¾”
Strips of Basic White, Balmy Blue and Garden Green ⅜” wide

When I am stamping onto watercolor paper, I usually use my Stamparatus. Because the paper is textured the Stamparatus gives me the option of re-stamping if I miss spots or I want the image to be darker. So, I stamped the fields, trees and sheep in StaZon Jet Black ink.

www.crafty-rootes.com – The On The Farm stamp set used to make a pretty, watercoloured, sheep themed thank you card

I added a drop of Balmy Blue re-inker to the lid of the Balmy Blue ink pad and painted in the sky using a Water Painter. After the sky had dried, I coloured the fields in the same way using Garden Green ink.

www.crafty-rootes.com – The On The Farm stamp set used to make a pretty, watercoloured, sheep themed thank you card

The trees were painted with Shaded Spruce and the tree trunks in Early Espresso. I used Memento Tuxedo Black ink re-fill to colour in the sheep and left the panel to dry.

The dried panel was then glued to the Garden Green card. I used Seal + as the panel was a little warped. The whole piece was mounted onto the Sahara Sand card base on Dimensionals.
