Over at Gingersnap Creations, the March theme challenge was to create a card with either a lamb or lion image based on the saying that March comes in like a lion and out like a lamb. It rained most of the day here, so is that considered lamb or lion? I'm not sure.

I don't own a lion or sheep stamp and I did search for one at a few local stores but with no success. So my buddy Sharon loaned me this cute Penny Black image.

I used Karen Giron's Sweet Sunday Sketch challenge for the layout of the card, which measures 3" x 6". The image was stamped with Memento black ink and colored with copic markers. To give the white sheep some dimension, I outlined the inside of the sheep with Warm Grey (W2) and the outside of the sheep with Frost Blue (B00). Here's a closer look:
