Black and White Christmas

Hi Everyone! I hope you are having a good day. It is gray outside here, but not that cold. I just got back from a nice walk. You do not often see a black and white Christmas card, but I must say that is rather striking. At Joan's Gardens this week the challenge is to use black and white, Christmas and frame.

The frame is a Spellbinders die -- Decorative Labels 8. The leaves is a Memory Box die -- Fresh Foliage. I used an embossing folder with a frame on the black card stock and used Belgian Cream embossing powder from Sparkle N Sprinkle on the image.

Thanks so much for stopping by. I hope you have a wonderful day!

Hi April, I see you are a SCarolinian, 45 mins from the mtns. So am I! Maybe we are neighbors (I'm close to Greenville). Popped over from Jo's Scrap Shack to thank you for playing along in the FFC #26 challenge, saw your beautiful card, read your profile, and joined as your newest follower. Hope you'll find time to come visit me too, and we can find out if we're in the same area! Always lovely to make a new stamping friend. This card is simply lovely with that B&W theme with your candles. A perfect lacey frame for these gorgeous candles. TFS & Stay warm.
