Light of Bethlem

Good morning and welcome to my crafty space.  Today I am sharing my first real attempt to add a background to a stamped image.  I totally borrowed this from Sandy Allnock, because I watched the linked video and fell in love with the stamp and her project.  I will never claim to have talent, and desperately want to be a colorist so I watch a ton of her videos.  After watching Sandy’s video and ordering Bethlehem’s Light from the Colorado Stamp Co, I decided to give this a try and followed Sandy’s video.  My final picture doesn’t come close to my inspiration piece, but I will say I had so much fun coloring this image.  I actually made four of these to give to family members.   I’m very shy about sharing this because I don’t like to post imperfect projects of my Lord and Savior, so I ask please be kind in your comments.   And Thank You to Sandy Allnock for sharing her art and teachings. 

Products used:  white/navy/silver metallic card stock, copic markers, white gelly roll pen, Recollections white/silver embossing powder, and Colorado Craft Co Bethlehem’s Light stamp set
