Hello! Happy new sketch day from Freshly Made Sketches! Our talented and creative hostess this week is Jacquie! Lots of room to play and fill the main area for this week!
I have always had a thing for sheep. When I was a little girl (about ten), my grandfather gave me a motherless lamb to take care of for the summer. I remember feeding it from a 7-up bottle (glass then) with a big nipple on it. I named my lamb Charlie. Since then, there is something about seeing sheep roam the hills -- of Utah, Nebraska, Wales, Norway... all over the world I look for them. So I loved this image from Woodware. My sister sent it to me as a gift, and I haven't inked it until today. It was perfect for the sketch. I didn't shade or color it as I love it just stamped in black on white! I used a piece of Echo Park patterned paper behind the main panel and tied blue metallic thread around the paper. The sentiment is from the same stamp set (Lino Cut Sheep).
I hope you will join our sketch challenge, and add your creations to our gallery. We would love to see what you make!
This challenge will end at 3:00 EDT time on Monday, March 27. Be sure to take a peek at the gorgeous cards my teammates have created on the FMS blog to inspire you. There are some beautiful and very creative designs there! Have fun with the sketch!
I saw your card at the challenge and had to come and say how beautiful it is. I'm a Welsh girl, so sheep are in my heart too. I love your design and pretty paper you used.
