Cricut When I Can: Sheep Card using Scan N Cut 250

I recently "Stole" my moms Scan N Cut 250 since she was not using it and it was hanging out in a box in her sewing room for gosh knows how long.

- Here is my card insipiration from Pinterest

Why did I not get one sooner! Its awsome.

This wood stamp came from my Easter bin of supplies, its from a brand called craft smart.

I used memento black ink because for one I am going to Copic Color the images and two I have heard you get best results with a dark crisp ink/lines.

This is the Brother Scan N Cut 250, I believe it is a older version.

I am using a Heavy Weight white card stock cut to 5 1/2 inches long and 3 3/4 tall.

A T-Squared ruler and some circle dies to map out three spaces.

Some scraps of colored card stock and a circle die that is slightly bigger.

Using my Hampton Art Stamp Press to stamp the sentiment.

I cut two sentiments from two stamp sets to get the font and style I wanted.

I started with N2 along the edge of the sheep.

Then blended it with N0 which will make it a nice light grey sheep.

I just added a slight line of R3 to the inside of the ears.

And to lighted and fade out the R3 I added some 0 which is the colorless blender.

I added them to my circles so they would be peaking out the edges in different ways.

I used some Scotch tape to adhere them to the back of the panel.

Some green fun foam to add a nice amount of even dimension.

Finished Card Front.

I colored in a full sheep for the inside since I had a extra one.

I used N8 for the feet.

I cut a Heavy Weight white card stock panel the same size as the outside for the inside.

I am using a matching card stock for the card base.

Here is the stamp and I would have never fussy cut the image out.

But now I do not have too and can re think purchasing differnt stamp sets now that I am "borrowing the Scan N Cut.
