Inspiration Week: Introducing Barnyard Buddies & Missing Ewe

Hello & welcome to our inspiration week where I will be sharing sneak peeks of Sunny Studio's newest release for Fall coming out on July 21st!  I hope you will pull up a comfy chair and join me.  Make sure to scroll to the bottom to enter today's giveaway too!  ;)

Today I'm excited to introduce you to our new Barnyard Buddies and Missing Ewe Stamps and Dies!  I went through a "country" phase in the 90's where I was obsessed with cute cows and after that I received a million cows from thoughtful friends and family.  While I have parted with most of my collection, I still have a soft spot for cute farm animals.  ;)  

I don't know why, but the entire time I was designing this set, I had in my mind that I wanted to stack the critters and they didn't disappoint.  The set comes with a small section of fence that is great for repeating in scenes and using to layer in the distance.

For my next card I used the little barn from the set, along with my beloved cow to create a fun, punny card.  To create a relatively flat card, I took turns masking off the sky line and dirt path before inking with my favorite jumbo dauber and distress inks.  Then to add a bit of interest, I stamped a border of corn stalks and the grass image, using some companion stamps that come with the set.  For my last finishing touch, I heat embossed the tiny white flowers and topped them with some Nuvo Dandelion Yellow Crystal Drops.  :)

Up next is a card showcasing the leaping sheep from the 2x3 Missing Ewe set.  This set comes with several fun punny sentiments playing on the word "ewe", but for this card I wanted to go soft and sweet with a baby theme so I borrowed a sentiment from our Baby Bear stamps and the fence from Barnyard Buddies.  I inked up some Lawn Fawn cloud borders using my favorite Tumbled Glass distress inks and tucked my fence pieces in between.

For my next card I created another scene, this time focusing on the Chicken, eggs and baby chicks from the set...

For my last card today I thought it would be fun to color my horse with Copic Markers in princess colors and pair her with another fun set that I will be sharing later this week.  ;)  

To create my card I cut our Sun Ray Dies from masking paper and sponged on my rays using Spun Sugar and Shaded Lilac distress ink, before going over the entire card with a light layer of spun sugar.  I then cut the center out using Tonic's Scalloped Circle dies to form my shaker window.

The shaker elements on this card were cut out from glitter cardstock using a free mini star trio die that will automatically ship with each order placed on our website starting on July 21st (while supplies last).

To color the background I used Tumbled Glass Distress Ink and then splashed it with water using my paint brush.  The sentiment was then heat embossed using silver embossing powder.  I finished my card with some clear sequins and clear droplets as embellishments.

Thank you so much for stopping by!

Hugs,
Melania Deasy
