The inspiration for this card came from Heather Summers and her Simply Punches Two on-line class. You can view Heather's blog at http://www.stampwithheather.typepad.com/
Thanks, Heather, for the inspiration!
I made this card for the arrival of my friend's first baby who decorated the nursery in a farm theme. I printed out the tag on the computer and punched it out with the large punch and spiral punched the edge. For the sheep head, use another scallop circle cut down smaller by refeeding it through the same punch. To achieve the barn board look, attached separate, sponged, strips of RHR to the RHR card base. For added texture, I used SU background stamp, Weathered, on the barn roof and fence. I also used the SU Sale-A-Bration set, Congrats, to complete the inside greeting with Congratulations, on the birth of your beautiful baby!
