hello stampers!
I'm joining in today with a clean and simple challenge over at the paper players, where Christy has chosen the theme: baby animals. I don't have many stamps or dies of baby animals (yes I was shocked too!) so my choices were limited, but I did manage to find a ewe and lamb from my favourite MFT set. Happy days!
I stencilled the background with a large brush and subtle greenish hue which gives a lovely detail around the edge of the stencil shapes. This colour was matched with a panel mounted behind. The ewe and lamb were stamped in a pale grey on hammered card, to give the look of wool, then die cut and gently coloured, to keep the look soft and subtle.
Thanks for stopping by today - have a great day :)
What a sweet card, Rachel! Your stamp choices may have been limited, but you had the perfect thing in your stash. Love the soft and dreamy colors for your sweet sheep. Thanks for playing along with The Paper Players!
ReplyDeleteI was pretty surprised to discover a lack of baby animals as well! I love that soft stencilling in the background - perfect! That soft green is just the thing too. Thanks for joining in with us at The Paper Players.
ReplyDeleteYay Rachel - I don't often see you in the PP gallery! Your sweet sheep with stencilled detail are just perfect for this week's challenge - and I can never resist a punny sentiment! CAS perfection - thanks for sharing with us over at The Paper Players this week!
ReplyDeleteAs sweet as can be! Love that subtle stenciling behind your little lambs! And the dimension on them is amazing! Thanks for playing with the Players!
ReplyDeleteRachel this is absolutely adorable! The soft stenciling in the background adds texture and grounds your focal image and allows us to focus on that image even more. The soft color of the sentiment blends perfectly. All round a fabulous CAS card. So glad you chose to share this with us at the Paper Players this week
