Because I love sheep so much, I almost did a sheep card but just had a desire to do something else. I chose a color theme and made my sweet hubby a card. This is my inspiration: https://static1.squarespace.com/stat...pg?format=750w It is the Merino felting wool and I chose a few colors. I think you can probably guess which ones.
I sponged my background with make up brushes which do a great job. I had already punched out a circle using card stock and Frog Tape. Just place some of the tape on the cardstock, punch, and lift the Frog Tape. I stuck it on my cardstock for masking the moon. It works great for that. I stamped the trees and stars (the stars look kind of blue but it was white ink). I colored the moon with Copics. Last, I added my sentiment and it was finished.
I am also entering my card into the TLC746 challenge, Ink Blending. I had already made a humorous card for it but thought this worked even better.
Come play along with us this week. It is sure to be fun.

Gorgeous card, Brenda - love the sponging (you know I am a sponging maniac) and the trees are gorgeous too! I also bought a set of make-up brushes for sponging which are JUST like the life changing brushes at a fraction of the cost!!! Faved, btw.

Brenda, I saw this scrolling the gallery strip last night and knew it was special...in the morning light now, what a wonderful card. SO much depth. love the perspective of all the elements and especially the stars...they are perfectly placed and the whitish blue is marvelous.
Thank you for all your details...the frog tape tip is one I needed. Your sweet hubs will appreciate this unusual hued gift from the heart. I love the different colors. Into my favs.
