Celebrating the N"EWE"ST release at Gerda Steiner Design

Welcome to my blog.  Gerda kindly invited me back to join the blog hop to celebrate her newest release.  As you have probably guessed its all about sheep.  Super cute sheep I might add.  Gerda has 3 sets to give away, all you have to do is leave a comment to be in with a chance to win.

You should have come to me from Weibke's blog, I'm sure you are super inspired
so hope I can add some more inspiration for you.

Here in New Zealand we are famous for our sheep. When there is a big Rugby match it is not uncommon to see sheep in team colours grazing happily in paddocks around the country.

Its such a great stamp set to create with.  There are lots of little accent stamps and sentiments to go with the sweet little sheep.  I am showcasing only two of the sheep and some of the many accents and sentiments.

Up first using one of the cute little sheep and mix and matching the sentiments 
with a question mark from the set.


Up next using another cutie and this time masking 
and stamping several times to make a family "flock" portrait.


And finally using the same little sheep this time singularly, with another sentiment 
and the little bird and butterfly accents.


Heres the blog lineup so next up is Jess.  
She has some more wonderful creations for you to enjoy.

Karen Oliver (that's me so you are here)

Thanks for visiting and don't forget to leave a comment for the chance to win 
this super cute stamp set.

Unknown said...

Love your designs especially the dog with balloons. Thanks!

Glittered Paws said...

Oh how cute - I am lovin these sheep great job.

Karen Oliver said...

Hi Bettye the stitching on the frame is part of the die cut, its called frame 2 from Paper Smooches. The other stitching is hand drawn with a fine liner pen. Hope that helps and thanks for popping in. Good luck.
