card was being posted on Halloween. I could of redone it but I liked my card
so here you go:
 


This darling 2008-K, Shepherd Boy is one of my favorite Christmas stamps
from Repeat Impressions, I colored him with Copics, stamped 1141-F, Christmas,
did a bit of die cutting and layering,  added some patterned paper
patterned paper from The Paper Studio and was done.  Isn't he darling?

Yes he is just darling and IRL the card is much prettier - I think this has to be one of my favorite Christmas stamps from RI.

Oh, this little shepherd is so sweet, if he were mine I’d use him plenty. I like this style, muted and beautifully color coordinated.

I think this image is perfect for this sketch!! (I probably would have used it myself if I hadn't seen that you had already used it.) And even though it is a little ironic to post a Christmas card on Halloween, it is definitely time to get started on Christmas crafting! (Thanks for playing with Jo's Scrap Shack.)

Hi Donna,

This little guy is SO SO sweet and innocent. Such a warm fuzzy card to grab hearts at the most important time of the year. I’m glad you made a mistake in posting, else I would not have seen your card. The Joy Joy behind creates a visual perfectly in tune with the focal image.
