I really want to try Janelle's suggestion on DIY felt that she has described in the MIX115 Woolly Dots challenge. But this quick notecard sort of made itself first .
Stamped the sheep with Versamark, embossed with white, masked. Manually embossed the barbed wire (came as an extra, I think with a Cuttlebug chicken wire, and I never thought I'd used it), and went over it with a silver pen. Stamped the knit background, and before removing the masks, rubbed in some green Gelato for the grass.
Added some wool to the barbed wire, and an embossed sentiment. Coloured the sheep with Inktense pencil for the faces and legs, and dilute white re-inker for the wool.
I think the wool I used is actually natural un-dyed Shetland wool. I am terrible about organising leftover wool, trusting that when I need something I'll be able to pick out what I want. But I'm pretty sure on this one - I knit two sweaters a few years ago in natural yarns. If I were really organised, I know I picked up some raw sheeps wool from hedgerows last summer.

How this just tickles my woolly heart! A really sweet set of sheep and every element has something to do with the challenge, brilliance! Thanks for playing in the Mix-Ability challenge, MIX115: Woolly Dots

Love this wooly Mama and her baby - lots of great texture - both implied and actual with the DP, the wool, the embossing, and the sponging - quite an adorable and warm, fuzzy card!!
