Hello! I'm sharing a card that I made for the the CAS-ual Fridays Challenge: CFC70.
Oh yeah. I can't resist the combo of black & white with one color. And this fit perfectly with the card I wanted to create. Prior to making this card, I made 7 other Christmas cards yesterday...but none of them turned out quite the way I wanted. They just didn't have that "pop" that I was trying for. Simple, but a little extra...something. I finally got it right with this 8th try!
This one will be easy to mass produce. That's something I usually don't do, but for the sake of time...I'll need to this year.
Anyway, on to my card. After all that chatter.
I love using kraft with black and white. It just seems so classic. And it works with the homespun look that I was going for. In the closeup photo you may be able to see the coarse glitter that I added to the runners on the sleigh and on the horses hooves. Also, I used my Sakura clear stardust pen on the edges of the stamped snowflakes. Everything else is straightforward. I'll list my supplies below.
Thanks so much for taking a look!
Supplies:
card stock: kraft (PTI), basic black (SU)
ink: onyx black (Versafine), frost white (Color Box)
