What's That Coming Over The Hill...

 Good morning and a very happy Monday, I hope you had a lovely weekend! I'm back with the second of my projects for the Country View Crafts Spring challenge.


As usual, this is a combination of some of my oldest stash with some of my newest.

I started by brayering my background with some Amsterdam paints. I guess I should have cleaned my brayer better before I started lol.

Then I added some stencilling and foliage with the end of my paintbrush (which I then dropped hence the "red sky in the morning"


I've had these Tim Holtz dies for years and they've never been out of the packet, so it was quite a shock to see that the hand was cut into the card rather than cutting it out!


I LOVE my new Sam Poole alpha dies. They're the perfect size.


And what's not to love about these grumpy sheep!

My favourite uncle is 75 this year, so guess which card he's getting lol.

Susan has a great range of Tim Holtz goodies here, and Sam Poole here.

Have a very happy day whatever you are doing, and thanks so much for looking x

    This really is a special card Sue, the dirty brayer only adds to the background detail. The stamped sheep each have their own character and attitude with the pointy fingers making sure they get the importance of that Birthday across. I hope your favourite Uncle has/had a super duper time on his special day.
    Happy Easter Hugs Tracey xx
