Not my go to for Christmas cards, but black and white can be so elegant. This month's challenge at Let's Craft and Create is anything goes + black and white. I need a few more Christmas cards so decided to try one in black and white.
I am excited to share this card.
The card base has a silver border already on it. I cut a piece of black to fit inside that border. On the black I used an E/F of forest trees from Stampin" Up.You may have to zoom in to see the impressions. The die cut white trees are from Kokorosa Studio. They come 3 in a set. I cut 3 sets and used of of the trees inside. I added punched silver stars in the sky. the sentiment is an old one from SU. Then all tied up with a white satin ribbon.
Inside, I added a black strip with one of the white die cut trees and a silver star. Then stamped an SU sentiment.
This is the first appearance of the white tree dies so I am also entering this on Darnell's NBUS page.

Absolutely beautiful card, Donna! And I love that you added a strip of black with the tree and star on the inside. Black and white Christmas cards are definitely going to be a staple for me now. Thank you for giving me another card design idea.
ReplyDeleteOoh! This is gorgeous!
ReplyDeleteI can see why you love this, Donna! It looks just like a moonless night in the forest after a fresh snowfall ... all wrapped up like a gift with that satin ribbon! Thank you for inspiring everyone to use their NBUS! Happy Holiday Hugs, Darnell
