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.

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.

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.

The sentiment, from the Best Family Ever, was stamped in Memento Tuxedo Black ink below the mounted image. I flagged the end of the three strips of card, each ⅜” and tucked them under the image.

A trio of Fine Sparkle Gems completes the card.
