Counting Sheep - a Free Sale-a-bration Offering Sneak Peak

 This year, for the first time, Stampin Up is offering not one, but 2 sale-a-bration (SAB) events - and this second event is about to start in August. As you will recall, SAB is a time where spending money gets you free items.  In this case, buy something from any of the current catalogues totally $60 

This card, "Counting Sheep" is made using one of these free offerings.

This stamp set also comes with a die set, a separate free offering.

I started by die cutting 2 of the clouds and used them as a stencil to sponge clouds in the sky.

The sky and foreground were created by applying ink with the Stampin' Up blending brushes.
