For today's challenge you could only use one stamping set and circles. Hmmmmmm.......I just got some new Rubber Stamp Tapestry sets which are usually used for a more elegant card than what I did today. But, being Mutnik and all, I chose to go a different path. I used a squiggly coluzzle circle to make my faux sheep here look a little more fluffy......details........
I was thinking about what to do for my card today and after reading the comics, sheep came to mind. Everytime I see a sheep, I think of Schirmcat, who loves sheep. So I tried to copy some of hers, thus the title.
I cut a squiggly circle out of some paper, used the hole for my guide. Stamped my new peg stamps, using different colors for each stamp, in the circle. Drew the little heads and ears and tail and legs and feet coloring with re-inkers. Versa marked these parts and clear eb them.
Masked off the sheep, made another circle guide for the half round hills. Sponged the hills, drew the trees, which I used the squiggly circle guide for the tree tops.
Made a stencil using the squiggly circle for the clouds and sun. Added a lot of doodles here and there. Put in some sun rays and a few birds.....wal-la! Put this on a white card sponged rust.
Well, hope you like my different take on the circle theme today..............TFL :0)

You !!! there you go again, mentioning someone's name in the gallery. Schirmcat loves sheep with saddles, havent you noticed? I ask about that all the time and never seem to get a straight answer. Apparently it's because her mind goes from one thing to the next. I cant keep up with her, but see you can. Love your scene and your sweet sheep, too.
