Celebrate the beauty of the Christmas season with the Shepherd’s Care Stamp Set. This faith-based stamp set features beautiful imagery with detailed watercolor elements representing the story of Jesus’s birth and faith sentiments. It offers various creative possibilities: You can build a scene combining the images of your choice, try out different coloring techniques and tools using the open line-art images of the set, or let your creativity flow by pairing together the desired designs and greetings to personalize each of your crafts.
This is a Distinctive stamp set. Its special texture adds depth and dimension in a single step, creating photorealistic images. Think outside the box and remember this stamp when making next year’s Easter cards. Happy Stamping!
Card Directions

Stamp the city stamp in Memento Black or Night of Navy Ink in the bottom right corner, then adhere this panel to a panel of Night of Navy Cardstock, then adhere to the inside.
