Starry, starry night......da, da, da,......da da......doesn't that remind you of a song? Can't for the life of me remember who sings it. If DH was home he could tell me, oh well. ....Today we were to use a star on our card. So I did. I also added sheep, you know the kind you count when you can't sleep at night! lol Do people really do that?....The little deer and trees were just an added bonus. I had to quickly throw this one together. My DD is having surgery tomorrow, so today I had to do extra pools which put me behind a little. Not to worry, she is having the screws in her knee removed from the metal bar which replaced her femur bone. I guess they tend to come loose. Yikes!!!...........on to the card...............
Stamped my stars with versa mark, white ep them. Drew the little hills. Stamped and w/c the little deer from Clear Dollar Stamps. Then versa marked and clear eb him. I should have now sponged the sky, but I wanted to make it more difficult, so I stamped my Clear Dollar Stamps sheep. This meant I had to make a mask so they didn't get sponged over. LOL I also gave the middle sheep different legs so as to look like he is jumping over the fence. Instead he looks like a spider! lol
Stamped the trees with peeled paint, clear eb. Sponged the sky different blues, sponged the ground with antique linen because I hear the snow is melting......somewhere.
Put my scene panel on a white card sponged with fired brick, doodled edges. Put the MS fence on that I sponged and shaded. Then put on extra sheep that I w/c and clear eb then popped them up. Added the stick on silver stars. Well, hope you like it...don't count the sheep, you might fall asleep!.....TFL :0)

Nutmeg, this is pretty darn fantastic, if I say so myself! How fabulous you draw and color. To wake up one morning and realize I've become Nutmeg.... I wouldnt want the pool part, but I'd take all the rest hands down. Darling card today.

Aww, your sheep are too cute! Love how you add in your own scene details, and doodling around the edges! Wonderful! Hope your DD is doing well, sounds like a painful process!

Great card! Asked DH if he wanted to see a card, and he said he wanted to see sheep jumping over fence, and I found this card on a search. So cute, and made us both laugh :-)
