I am in Christmas card making mode, and decided to go with simplicity for a batch I have made today. So it is black and white, and gold. Two slightly different versions, but using the same stamp. I have embossed the Penny Black Fantasy Tree on to black card, and then double mounted - first gold card and then black again. However, the last black layer is a brocade embossed card so it gives a little bit of a shine. The whole thing is mounted on to white card that has a gold sheen. So a batch of eight very quickly completed. Apologies the photos are poo.
I am entering this into the following challenge:
Craft Catz - Colour challenge - Black and white plus one other colour
Craft your Passion - glitz and glitter - well I have glitz in the form of gold embossing
The Crazy Challenge - Shapes - mine are all square - hope that counts!
