Last few Christmas cards

 This is the last of my Christmas cards...I can't wait to move on now!! Anyhow, I thought I'd like to try a bright image on a black and white background, so I chose DCWV paper, Marianne Creatables die cut ,Sunray embossing folder, "icicle" scissors and black glitter paper. The image is,of course,Holly,
 from A Passion for Stamps


 
This card was one of the quickest I've made. I used my Papermania  Christmas Stocking embossing folder and cut out two extra stockings. Some glitter , a little matting behind the image and c'est fini!

Try it on Tuesday ...anything goes

    Oh wow....both of these are stunning. Love the black and white and then the striking holly leaf. What a fantastic embossing folder for the second card.

    The first one is so striking Ruth and the second very delicate.

    I always find white on white a bit scary, but after seeing this one think I need to give it another go.
