Hi Diane - Yay! I got it done! This was so much fun to make and I love how it turned out. Thanks for sharing the great tutorial in SCS Resources. Your measurements make for an absolutely perfect fit. My sheep-loving friend is going to be so surprised.
There are several great punch sheep examples in the gallery. Here's what I used to make mine:
Face: X-lg and small SU oval punches, 1/4 and 1/8 inch circle punches, small flower punch, gingham ribbon
Body: Classic scallop circle nestabilities
Feet: Modern label punch, cut in half
I used lots of dimensionals, and the back side of the box is the sheep's "back side."
I brayered the texture plate with Wild Wasabi ink before running it through my Big Kick and sponged the edges of all green layers, including the box itself.
