SheepSki Designs: Feature a Creature!

The realm of fairy-story is wide and deep and high and filled with many things: all manner of beasts and birds are found there; shoreless seas and stars uncounted; beauty that is an enchantment, and an ever-present peril; both joy and sorrow as sharp as swords. In that realm a man may, perhaps, count himself fortunate to have wandered, but its very richness and strangeness tie the tongue of a traveller who would report them. And while he is there it is dangerous for him to ask too many questions, lest the gates should be shut and the keys be lost. ~J.R.R. Tolkien, "Fairy-Stories," 1939 (lecture), 1947 (print essay)

Tis the Season ...

A cup of ale,

A merry tale Of days of olden time,

And Christmas good cheer To wind up the year

SheepSki Designs: Fall / Halloween

No spring nor summer's beauty hath such grace

As I have seen in one Autumnal face....

~John Donne, "Elegy IX: The Autumnal"

Good morning!

Another challenge has begun for all you SheepSki Design fans! This month our challenge is to make a card that celebrates Halloween of Fall. Your choice!

For my card I am using the image Winter Warmer #183 and a sketch I Spy Sketches

This card actually gave me fits to make. It seemed like something constantly went awry in the making of.

It started with me masking the image to ink in a background … My mask not only slipped but somehow red ink that was on the piece of paper I used for the mask transferred onto the cardstock. It was unfixable so I fussy cut the image out and set aside to cut new background mats.

Returning to my workbench I could not find the image.

Anywhere!

5 minutes of searching finally found it had slid under my glass mat.

Then in the process of stamping the sentiment, I slipped and smeared the ink … the banner was created to cover THAT mess.

So … the card is finally done with a few modifications to the sketch! And I’m happy with it.

Supplies

• Image printed on Stampin Up Whisper White card stock
• Cardstock from The Paper Studio (base) and Stampin Up!
• Design paper from Fun Stampers Journey
• Ink from Stampin Up!
• ProMarkers
• Sentiment from Unity Stamps
• Textured background paper from my stash
• I Spy Sketch ISSC08

Christmas is a necessity. There has to be at least one day of the year to remind us that we're here for something else besides ourselves. ~Eric Sevareid

Good morning!

Another challenge has begun for all you SheepSki Design fans! This month our challenge is to use layers!

For my card I am using the image Rachel #54 and a sketch from Deconstructed Sketch. The colors I used are rather non traditional but I really loved out the card turned out.

SheepSki Designs: Happy Hellos

“I refuse to accept the view that mankind is so tragically bound to the starless midnight of racism and war that the bright daybreak of peace and brotherhood can never become a reality…I believe that unarmed truth and unconditional love will have the final word.”
