I am not very keen on the traditional red and green for Christmas cards and like to experiment with other colours as you might have noticed. I must admit I don't often use black on them but am always pleasantly suprised at how well they turn out, including this one. I made the background by stamping snowflakes onto the card and then inking and distressing the edges. The main image has been coloured with promarkers and chalk. I have also used brown teddy bear flock on the muff rather than white which I thought was a bit stark. The leaves and flowers have been punched and embossed to shape them and I have added gems to the centres. Hope you lik it, thanks for looking.
