Black, White & Silver Christmas

The current challenge at Merry Monday is 'Black, White, Gray/Silver' and I struggled with my first few attempts as the cards looked more like sympathy cards than Christmas cards!   I then found this lovely image in my upcycling box and thought it would be perfect.   I'm also entering the ABC Christmas Challenge 'F for Frills or No Frills' (and I've obviously gone for the No Frills option as I'm not a frilly, fussy crafter!) and the Christmas Card Challenges 'Anything Goes'.


Card blank: 6" x 6" white hammer
Card: Black Moondust
Other:  Black and white image and white/silver card (both from upcycled Christmas cards)

 I trimmed the white/silver card to a square, layered it onto black card and attached it to the card front.  The image (which already had the red heart attached) was trimmed to a small square, layered onto black card and atttached in the centre of my card.

    It is a lovely image Kath and your card looks so striking in the monochromatic colours with just the tiny hint of red.
