I love using patterns and the new Reason To Smile release is filled with fabulous patterns from ginghams to stripes, swirls and polka dots: 

SSS GINGHAM BACKGROUND

SSS PATTERN SWATCHES

SSS CLOUDY SKY

For my card today I couldn’t resist placing the cute sheep from Melody’s Easter among green gingham hills and peach clouds!

I stamped the sheep from Melody’s Easter in Intense Black and die cut with the matching die before a light coloring with Copics. I also die cut the clouds from Cloudy Skies having first stamped them in Sea Glass, Melon and Fog inks. For the hills I inked up the fabulous large Gingham Background with Green Leaf ink and then die cut with the A2 Card Curved Edge die for a nice rounded hill.

All the elements are mounted on a panel blended with Sea Glass and Melon inks to give a nice early morning glow and then splattered with paints and Perfect Pearls for extra interest. For the sentiment I partially die cut a Talk Bubbles 2 die and then stamped that cute ‘baaah!’ in Intense Black. Everything is mounted with foam adhesive on a white card base and I added a few sequins to finish oh and a die cut watercolored heart left over from this project :D

You can check out the The Reason To Smile release here. Tomorrow there’s lots of fun with a big blog hop to celebrate the new release so please call by to catch up on all the fun :D
