These sheep are so funny! I would love to give credit for them, but I really don't know their origins.
I saw them on a website that sells stuff directly from China, very inexpensively. A lot of the stamp sets are direct copies (ripoffs) from actual companies here in the USA. I try not to buy stuff if it's something I know is a copy, although I will buy dies in basic shapes. I fell in love with these sheep and tried to find out where they were copied from. My reverse image search just brought me back to the Chinese site. I think I've seen these guys before, but I couldn't say where or when.
Anyway, after searching for a couple of weeks without finding them, I went ahead and ordered them from the Chinese site. I stamped them in My Favorite Things Hybrid ink on watercolor paper, and colored them with whatever colors had dried in my palette. I think they may be Gansai Tambi. I had fun messing up with the background, and I forgot to color the guitar. Oh well.
I cut the main panel with a wonky stitched rectangle, and foam mounted it onto a card base. The pink card base was stamped with a MFT background stripe in Simon Says Stamp Wisteria die ink.
I love watercolor. Even when you mess up it looks ok. Works for me.
If you know where these sheep came from, please let me know, OK?

Water coloring over embossed text
The back panel is white embossed text (Hero Arts) that has been water color stained. Seriously, I just used my Gansai Tambi water colors and picked out a few of my favorites and slopped it down there.
The birthday word stamp and the bird are from The Alley Way Stamps. TAWS went out of business last January, but I have a LOT of their stamps, I was a fan and a subscriber. So, TAWS critters will be on my cards a long time. Yes, this card should have read "HAPPY Bird-day". I missed that opportunity for a pun. My bad.
