Shepherd's Care Peace on Earth sentiment card with a twist

 Hello everyone.  This week I am not featuring any specific product.  I've been in a bit of a creative slump, so I'm just going where my creativity takes me with whatever products I happen to be inspired by.  Today's card features Shepherd's Care from the SD 2024 mini catalog by Stampin' Up!

For my card, I wanted the Shepherd's stamp to be the star of the show.  I also wanted to make a card that I could quickly and easily duplicate.  Of course, the quick and simple never seems to be quite within my grasp....I just can't stop and so the sentiment label came about here.  I didn't want to alter to the label die cut to fit my sentiment and when I put it on the card, the idea came to me to stamp a partial image to the left of the sentiment so it would look as if it's part of the scene.  I hope you like this technique as I'll probably be using it more often.  

To see how I made this card and the special way I did the sentiment label to blend in with the scene, be sure to watch the video replay over on my YouTube channel.



Supplies and Measurements:
Shepherd's Care stamp set 164300
Changing Leaves dies 164138 (for sentiment label)
Misty Moonlight card stock, 5 1/2" x 8 1/2" scored in center at 4 1/4" for card base.
Sentimental Christmas 12 x 12 DSP 164209 ($3 of every purchase is donated to a literacy charity for         kids) 4" x 5 1/4"
Night of Navy cardstock, 3 3/8" x 4 5/8"
Basic White cardstock 3 1/4" x 4 1/2" for focal image, scrap for sentiment label and 3 5/8" x 4 7/8" for     inside layer.
Ink Pads: Night of Navy, Misty Moonlight, Crumb Cake and VersaMark watermark
Iridescent Faceted Gems 163368
Blending Brush
Basics WOW! embossing powders 165679 (clear)
heat tool
stamp positioner tool

I hope you like this card and that you will give it a try.  The layout is pretty basic and I think that helps the image to pop!  

Until next time; be happy, stay healthy and happy stamping!
