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!

  1. 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.

  2. 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.
