I bought this W.S. sheep stamp in hopes that one day I could use it for a card for the Naughty/Nice list maker Miss Schirmcat aka: Kelly. Well, today's the day! Congrats Kelly on being the FS today. Have fun my dear.
I chose this card for my CASE'ing. I changed the elephant to a sheep, used dp for the sky and hills which were sewed. I tried to put as much primitive stuff here. After all, Kelly is the Queen of primitive! Instead of a sentiment, just a tag with stuff on it. Also made a gingham mini bow cause Kelly likes the gingham. lol
Let me explain why the stitching looks a little too primitive. I wanted a pattern for my hills so I drew them on paper, attached it to the cs dp they sewed it. Thought the paper would peel off easily. BUT then it is just paper so the stitches rip out rather easy too. So, that is why they look like they do. Oh well!
Well, Kelly hope you like my version of your card. I had a blast going through your wonderful gallery. I would love to go through your stamps and have fun!..........TFL :0)

I opened up the gallery page and this card was going thru. It cracked me up so I have to leave a little love. Besides being funny it's cute too.
Now I should go make something for the FS challenge.

Awesome CASE card, Cathy! I couldn't wait to see what you would do today! Love the fun images and stitched hills! You matched Kelly's style with perfection - but with the classic Mutnik style intact, too! Love it!

I love it, it's so cute. Love your stitching. I admire anyone who attemps stitching on their cards. I'm always in mortal fear I'll end up ruining my card. Love the lamb image too by the way. Maybe someone will send me some stamped images...hint hint....

This is just too cute! I agree with Carla that you nailed Kelly's style but stayed true to your own as well! Love love love that tired little sheep!
