This week's alphabet letter is S and the double challenge was to make a shaped card. I decided to make a sheep and found this post for inspiration: http://www.paperseedlings.com/2014/04/easter-lamb.html I like their lamb better, my sheep apparently needs to be sheared! My scalloped circle sizes are lacking, it was this large size or only a 1 3/4" scalloped circle. That was too small so I went with this. Word window punch provides the legs, the smallest oval in the framelits provides the face, flower petals provide the ears. I used two of the scalloped ovals to make the wool at the top of his head. He's distracted by that pretty red butterfly, a gift to me, on his nose.
It was a fun card to make, when I decide what to do with it I'll add a sentiment.
Thanks for looking.

Oh, Catherine. This is fabulous. Love the idea of that e.f. to portray the sheep's wooliness. So fun with his eyes going crossed seeing the butterfly on his nose. Great card......

Oh Catherine, this little sheep-shaped card is just as sweet as sweet can be!! You put so much creativity into this card and what a delightful card it is. These googly eyes are the perfect finishing touch to showcase this wonderful butterfly die that has landed on this sheep's nose. How fun! Hugs! ~Karen.
