Today’s featured stamp set are the Cheers mini set I showed you a sneak peek of yesterday, and Fleece Navibaa by Debbie Corbari:

  

I thought these adorable sheep would be the perfect opportunity to try out Gina's new White Pigment ink:

Oh.My.Goodness. This is absolutely the BEST white ink I've ever used!  Look at the beautiful detail and opaqueness on Black Onyx cardstock ... I'm in love!  I scattered rhinestones in the "sky" for stars, aong with a few punched white cardstock stars, and tried to make it look like the large sheep (free hand cut) is counting sheep to get to sleep! Evidently his dreams are keeping him wide awake, LOL!  His head is popped up on Copic Foam Tape and I used wiggle/google eyes.

Here's another quick 4.50" card with the smaller sheep from this set stamped in white on Black Onyx.  I added a little starburst/snowflake from the Cheers mini set, also in white ink:

Look closely at the Ivory card base background -- it is stamped with same Cheers starbursts/snowflakes with Gina's new Ivory pigment ink ... swoon!  I added the number 2 (from Tami Mayberry's Simple Numbers set), so this card could be used as a wedding, wedding shower, or thank you card. The two die cut circles (Black Onyx & Cherry Red cardstock) are popped up on foam tape.

Finally, I couldn't resist making another tag for my Advent calendar:
