We start another "Anything Goes" challenge at QKR Stampede today and we also have an optional theme of "Non-Traditional Colors." I thought it would be great to contrast non-traditional and completely neutral colors with an image that is so traditional, it's really basic to the whole celebration of Christmas. It's from QKR and is titled "Shepherd 8714." The sentiment is "The Reason 8712." It makes me think of the lovely Christmas carol "O Little Town of Bethlehem."
I colored the Shepherd with ProMarkers, did the ground and sky with polychromos colored pencils blended with gamsol, then cut it with a die from Spellbinders. The sentiment was printed and cut with a die from QuicKutz. I added the image to a kraft card base and dug through my stash for the snowflake and kraft ribbon. I layered on the sentiment and added an off-white satin bow. I really thought that a CAS design was best for showcasing the image.
