DH was using my computer most of yesterday evening, so I sat at the end of the desk and coloured these, which I had stamped and brought on holidays and never had time to colour.
I coloured the shepherds and sheep with Polychromos pencils, taking my cue from Wendy's F4A challenge to use at least two shades of purple on our focal point. I also added some (very pale) purple shadows into the snow - snow and sky are Twinkling H2Os and since it's grey here today, that doesn't show.
I edged the image panels with a silver pen and then gently with Harbor, and layered them onto purple Bazzill with the edges sponged with Violet.
For the base, I embossed the DP with a snowflake ef, edged it with a silver pen and sponged the snowflakes with Brilliance Platinum. To fill in the blank space on the cards, I added some silver ribbon, and popped the image panels up on foam tape.
