This is my sample for CC895. Chris is our hostess and she chose soft seafoam, garden green and soft suede for her color trio. Dessert option this week is any animal.
I have had the Counting Sheep stamps set and dies since the 2021 sale-a-bration event and never used them. So Chris' challenge was just the opportunity to pull them out and design a birthday card. And also to use some elements from Stampin' Up Paper Pumpkin kits.
I had the stair step base in my stash and used it to create this card. The sheep I finished off with fun flock for added interest. Although it doesn't show in the photo well.
The wishes sentiment is from an older Paper Pumpkin kit, as is the sentiment banner. The Birthday and celebrate sentiments are from Paper Pumpkin kits. The balloons and fence are part of the counting Sheep die set.
That's my card for this challenge. I hope you find some time to play along. We would love to see how you use these colors in your card designs.

Beautiful stair step card. The sheep are so cute and fun. The wood fence is terrific. Everything is well coordinated for a great card. Wonderful inspiration for the challenge colors, trying new things and a fun fold!

That sheep on the left is practicing her yoga and doing a great job of balancing on one leg! I love the side-step card base and the combination of DS papers, too!

What an adorable birthday card with these cute sheep images. I've never managed to pull off a stair step card, so I am impressed! I'm challenged when it comes to fancy folds of any kind!
