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.

Beautiful. Your coloring is amazing. It does look like the star is shinning down on the shepherd boy and lamb! Darling image! Your bucket list item for travel to the Holy Land is definitely & beautifully represented in your card. It would be an amazing trip! I hope you get to do that adventure. Great job with the FS challenge as well. Thanks for sharing this sweet and awesome card.

You did such a stunning job coloring the light from the star hitting the little boy. I can't tell you how impressed I am with how it turned out. The sky is gorgeous, as is the entire card. Pinned to my "great copic coloring" board.
