The best laid plans of card makers can turn mid-crafting and that's what happened with my card for Freshly Made Sketches.
When I got the Heaven's Gift stamp from Penny Black my idea was to emboss in gold and watercolor the image. Instead I stamped in black, clear heat embossed and colored with Zigs. This one was rather dark so I make a second version, since two images fit on one card panel.
I used almost the same color Zigs but washed them lightly over the image. The sentiment is from the set and the background strips are from a Honey Bee paper pack. I took a little creative license with the sketch. You'll have to go to Freshly Made Sketches to see which one I entered in their gallery.

I think the darker and the lighter one are both beautiful Bobby and I'm loving that dsp behind the images too! And two more for the stash!! YAY!! Hugs. :0)
Both cards are beautiful with that true image of Christmas. I kind of like the dark one better.
Two is always better than one, Bobby! and both of your cards are beautiful!

This is so pretty, Bobby. And I bet it was really fun to color, beautiful clean and simple Christmas card. Happy Thanksgiving, my friend!
Agreed - both are beautiful, and I rather like the both but the darker, bolder image stands out to me!
Both versions are lovely, Bobby!
Awesome coloring of the Holy Family, Bobby! Both versions are beautiful and a perfect way to celebrate the season!
