The featured stamper today is jamieruthp. I went through her gallery of beautiful cards and landed on this one to case: It Moose be Love! by jamieruthp at Splitcoaststampers
I changed her ground snow to sand and her falling snow to a star. Of course, her moose is now my shepherd and sheep. As you can see, I just used her design.
jamieruthp, I hope you enjoy your much deserved week as featured stamper.
I also wanted to play in the October Gallery Theme. This month's theme is: Bucket List. My interpretation is places you have visited or would love to visit. I would love to visit Bethlehem and I would also love to visit Jerusalem. This brought me to make the card representing THE STAR and shepherds watching their flock by night.
I just love this little shepherd boy and sheep. I wanted the light to shine down on them as it must have that night...so, that is how I colored it. I just created the sky and sand with a Copic marker.
I wish I knew the name of the stamp for the shepherd boy and sheep. I have had it for a long time and the only paper I had with it said The Greeting Farm. I stamped it, colored, cut out, and popped up with dimensionals. I have looked online for it and can't find it. If anyone knows the name, I would appreciate it so much if you let me know.
I made the rays with Winsor & Newton watercolour which is kind of a paste in a tube. I smeared it on with my fingers.

I would never have thought to use fingers for the WC. Great idea and it looks amazing as your bg. I love the image, too. Just as creative as can be, Brenda.
