For my stamping technique, I've chosen both "Random Stamping" and "Second Generation Stamping" techniques.  I first took the sentiments from "Christ is Born" C1628 and using cocoa ink, randomly stamped them on a 4" by 5.25" rectangle of colonial white paper.  When random stamping, try to create triangles.  The sentiments were stamped 2-3 times without reinking, creating the second and third generation stamped images.  The focal sentiment was stamped on a Cricut cut tag using the new Artistry cartridge (pg. 26) cut at 2.25" and the cranberry layer was cut at 2.5".  Three red enamel gems were placed on each side of the sentiment.  The inside of the card has the second part of the Luke 2:14 verse.
