LGC rainbow sheep

 Meet fluffy Flora. She is my latest design for Lets get crafting magazine
This magazine comes with a yarn kit so thats what I get to use when I'm coming up with these designs. This kit was full of wonderful colour and a fluffy fashion yarn.
I was asked to create a colourful sheep. No problem but it did take a while to decide on what the main colour should be. In the end I think it was more by accident than design that I went for the blue. I had made the legs first and started with the blue, then I made the head. I was prepared to make up a few in the different colours to see which worked best. I made a blue one first and it worked so well I didn't bother making up any other colours to try.
I really like the combination of colours and he really rather cute. It seems hes a hit with you guys too as I've seen quite a few of you have already made him. If you head onto lets get crafting facebook page you can see for yourself
