Shepard's Care - Cloud Cover

Shepherd's Care

 Every Friday I participate in the Crafty Collaborations Monochromatic Insta Hop on Instagram.  This week's color features the new 2025-2027 In Color Cloud Cover.  I chose a simple card design with minimal elements, so that the intention of the sentiment would not be lost in a layered design.

This color actually had a chemical reaction to the foam pad used in the Stampin' Up! Classic Stampin' Pad, but there is a work around to avoid that chemical reaction.   The Un-inked Stampin' Spots have a felt pad, and the ink does not have any issue with the felt.  So I used the Cloud Cover ReInker to ink up one of the un-inked Stampin' Spots.  Now I have an ink pad of this great new color.

When I saw which color was going to be featured this week, I had all kinds of ideas.... but I kept being drawn back to this stamp set.  So I went with it.  I stamped the images and sentiments with Secret Sea, colored in the shepherd's head-dress with Stampin' Blends Light Cloud Cover, and his garment with Stampin' Blends Dark Cloud Cover.  I used a Blending Brush to add the color to the perimeter of the card front.  

Shepherd's Care

My inside sentiment is not perfectly straight, but I just decided that I am not a perfect person and that my Shepherd loves me anyway..... the sentiment would stay as is.
