Wooly Friends, Friendship Card, Stampin' Up!

Hello and welcome to my blog. Today I have a fun card to share with you. I found it on Pinterest. You can see the original card by clicking here. I changed a couple of things due to supplies oh hand. I was so excited to play with this set. I had gotten it for my birthday from my sister and I received it today. I couldn't wait to play with it. I need to find my wiggly "things" that make the head bobble.  I think that would look so cute on this card. If you click on the "visit site" you will be taken to the original posters page. There she has a PDF file you can download with the instructions on how to make the card. Please read on to see how I made today's card. 

The base of my card is a folded half-sheet of Bubble Bath. I cut a 4" x 5-1/4" piece of Basic White card stock and taped it to the inside.

I cut a 4" x 5-1/4' piece of Peach Pie card stock. I taped that to the front of the card. On top of that is a piece of DSP from the "Lovely & Beautiful" 12" x 12" card stock. My piece was not 4" x 5-1/4" but I was able to cut it off at the right spot so I could use the two pieces and make it look like one! 

I textured a 4" x 5-1/4" piece of Bubble Bath using the "Beautiful Pattern" embossing folder. I figured I'd probably use the rest on another card in the near future.  I didn't have the die used on the original card but I thought this texture looked nice too. You need to cut it at 1-3/4" x 3-7/8". The instructions tell you to cut it at 1-3/4" x 4".  I'm sure that would look nice too but looking at the piece on her finished card,  it needs to be cut at 3-7/8".  

The arch was cut next. The instructions said to use the fourth from the largest. If you look at the largest die and count it as one, then you will be using the 5th die. 

Next I stamped the flowers from the "Wooly Friends" stamp set and colored them using Blends pens. I used the recommended colors, light Soft Sea Foam and light Fresh Freesia. I didn't have the Peach Pie Blends, I tend to not purchase the in colors because they stick around long enough to justify buying them.  So I used my light Pumpkin Pie Blends pen. 

The grassy area was colored in using the light Soft Sea Foam Blends pen and then grass was stamped using the image from the same stamp set. 

Then I stamped the sheep's body, head and bow. I punched them out using the matching punch. I didn't punch out a blank piece so to use as a template to set the stamps in so I could just slip it into the punch and punch them all out at once. 

I colored the body of the sheep and the top of the sheep's head using my light Bubble Bath Blends pen. 

The bow was colored in using my light Fresh Freesia Blends pen. 

I put the sheep together and then just laid it on the arch piece to see where the butterfly would go. I didn't do a good job getting a lot of the trail of the butterfly to show. But it is what it is. I colored the butterfly using the dark Fresh Freesia Blends pen.

The words were stamped next. They are from the same set and were stamped using black Memento ink.

The sheep was then taped in place and the arch was glued in place on the front of the card.

I used some retired "Candy Dots" that I colored with my dark Fresh Freesia Blends pen to get a nice complimentary color to go with the card. I set them in place on the left of the arched piece and the card was done.

This was a fun card to make and I can't wait to play with some more. I'd love to make some baby cards using the lamb. Too cute, huh?

Thank you SO very much for taking your time to stop in and see today's friendship card,
Wanda
