Here's a card I made a couple of weeks ago with one of the sheep from my unmounted set called BoPeep's Sheep. This card came together really quickly. The sheep are stamped in black Stazon ink and painted using a water brush and Stampin' Up reinkers.
The first sheep turned out a little too "blue" for my liking, but I wasn't about to scrap it all and start over. I just had to pay closer attention to the amount of ink I was laying down with the water brush so that I didn't make the same mistake on the other two sheep.
In order to hide the legs of the top sheep, I stamped the two lower sheep first, then masked them with post-it notes, and then stamped the top sheep. Where his legs overlapped the two lower sheep, the post-it notes protected the lower images, giving the appearance of distance or depth. Masking is fun ... like magic!
Instead of saying "happy spring", I think this card would be cute if it said "welcome baby"! The cute plaid Memory Box paper along with the big sheer ribbon and polka dots says "baby" to me.
Several people have asked for information on how I paint with reinkers. A long time ago (December 2006) I did a quick tutorial on painting with reinkers as well as using colored pencils with Gamsol or odorless mineral spirits. You can find those tutorials on my Tips & Tricks page. You'll also find a bit more information specific to the kind of paper that I use on this post, made earlier this month. Hope this is helpful!
And now, I'm off to crawl back into bed. Being sick is certainly NO fun when I could be spending this long holiday weekend stamping!
PS: Please excuse any typos ... I'm medicated.

Very Cute Card!!
Adorable sheep...
pretty paper..Beautiful Ribbon.

The sheep are so adorable! I thought the coloring was planned, the one in the front looks as if it's in a shadow because it's just landed. the second one is up in the air and the last one is getting ready to go up so they're lighter. A baby card is a wonderful idea...especially for any new spring lambs that are born soon.
I guess I'm as medicated as you are, LOL, I didn't see any typos!
Get some more rest.

I just love the little sheep, and how they look like they're "jumping over!" I'll have to make this card...I copy you a lot, you know!! Such good ideas. I don't have this exact sheep, mine's a little fatter, but it'll still work. I hope you feel better soon!! It's not nice being sick. Drink LOTS of TEA! With honey and lemon. I'm a tea freak, so I tell everybody that. Plus, it really is good for you. Hang in there - spring is coming - well, it's already warm in Texas, what am I talking about? We're still FROZEN up here in Idaho. xoxoxo Jeanne
