There'll Never Be Another Ewe

It's Monday, which means it's time for a new challenge at Eureka Stamps.  Our theme this week?  "Farm Animals".  Living in America's Dairyland, I probably should have done something with a cow, but I have a co-worker who raises sheep and her birthday is right around the corner.  I decided to make her a card instead.

I'm always trying something new in this digi adventure, seeing what works and what doesn't.  Today, I tried watercoloring:

I used Eureka Stamps digi2209(35) Standing Sheep and QKR Stampede (our Sister Company) digi 15621 "Another Ewe".

The base of this card is a Strathmore watercolor paper 5x7 card.  I used some very inexpensive watercolor paints randomly on the front, & let them dry. While they were drying, I colored my sheep with Copic markers and fussy cut her out, mounting her with foam tape to the front of the card.  The sentiment is also foam taped, and wrapped with Cherry Red Timeless Twine.  I used 3 colors of Stickles on UmWow Studio's chipboard stars. Once they dried thoroughly, I adhered them with glue dots. 
I have a giveaway going on, celebrating several events: I wrote my 500th blog post last week, I just reached 400 followers on my blog, and I have over 100 "likes" on my Facebook page, Muddy Paws & Inky Fingers.  To celebrate all those things,  I'm having a giveaway:  I have some Timeless Twine, some 3 Girl JAM ribbon, a Unity stamp set, a Close To My Heart stamp set, some Pinque Peacock embellishments, a 6x6 paper pad, and various embellishments that I need a home for. I also have two generous sponsors:  DigiStamps4Joy is giving a $10 gift certificate to the store, and The Cutting Cafe is offering any 3 sets.  WOW! If you'd like to be eligible to win, please leave a comment on any of my blog posts between now and July 6.  I'll draw a winner on my birthday.  It's my day, and you get the present!  I'd also love it if you "like" my Facebook page and follow my blog, if you don't already. 

And that's that!  Check out the awesome designs from the rest of the DT at the Eureka Stamps Challenge blog, and join our farm animals challenge this week.  Ewe'll be glad ewe did!
