First Christmas Card for 2011

My entry for the Bah! Humbug Challenge - Holly and Fairies.


I have chosen to use just Holly for this card, which has been made for a friend whose favourite colour is black - I always have to think hard for something different to do with a black card.
This time I have used a cuttlebug folder and embossed the holly image onto some core'dinations card from the Black Magic Collection, then sanded the image to bring out the green.  The card is matted onto red and gold then made into an easel card.  I have had to scan this in rather than photograph the card - I really must find my card reader.

Fabulous card - the black coredinations card is awesome to use with embossing folders and the gold and red matting adds a professional touch. Thank you for sharing with us at Bah! Humbug!
