Final challenge of July at The House That Stamps Built, and that means:
Anything Goes!
I decided to wrap the month up with one more Christmas card
for my stash using the darling Repeat Impressions: Shepherd Boy.
As the picture shows, I blended distress oxide broken china and
faded blue jeans, leaving it lighter in the middle and then
spritzed with water. My image is colored with Copics and
then fussy cut. The star is punched out of a scrap of silver.
Just a tip, I bought the highly talked about Bearly Art glue, be sure
if you have any on your fingers that you do not touch your distressed
background as it will lift the distressed area right off the paper. That
is the one dark area in my otherwise light area in the center where I
doctored it up. It does glue well.
You can enter any card in our challenge this week for
a chance to win the the monthly drawing for the
$25 Repeat Impression's gift certificate. You don't have to use
Repeat Impression stamps but an extra chance if you do.
Drawing is the first Wednesday every month.

This is one of my favorite Christmas Stamps - and love how you did the background. Thanks for the tip on the Bearly glue. You covered it up well.
That little shepherd boy is adorable Donna and I love the gorgeous ink blending, beautiful Christmas card!
Love this beautiful card. Nieces and smooth blending and I like that you pinched the star.
Stunning ink blending to make this lovely card.

The blue shades look beautiful with this precious little image!. I love those corner accents too - very sweet Christmas card.
Wonderful ink blending on this and your fussy cutting on the stamped image is amazing. Like the use of the corner punch too. Great Holiday card.
You doctored things well, my friend! Just looks like a shadow from his hand. Beautifully done! Love this stamp, and you’ve made it shine!
Thanks for the tip, Donna, about the glue touching the background. I actually thought it was an intentional shadowing of the shepherd's crook until you mentioned otherwise. Your background, of course, is GORGEOUS! I have not spent much time with my oxides, and need to become more proficient using the brushes with them. It's a lovely card! hugs, de
