Misty Moonlight card – 5⅜” by 3⅝”

I used the ‘ground’ image from the Blessed Beginnings stamp set was stamped in a line about an inch from the bottom of the same panel with the same Misty Moonlight ink. The whole panel was glued to the Misty Moonlight layer and then to the Pretty In Pink card front.

The outline sheep bodies were stamped on scrap Basic White card with Memento Tuxedo Black ink and the heads of the sheep on the same scrap with the same ink. I punched these out using the Woolly Friends Builder Punch.

I added the colour to the bodies of the sheep using the following colours – Balmy Blue, Fresh Freesia, Lemon Lolly and Pretty In Pink. I debated whether to use full strength or 2^nd generation ink and decided on full strength. The bodies were added to the panel with either Multipurpose Liquid Adhesive or on Dimensionals.
