Black and Gold

 Hello again, 

Well I feel like I have finally got some of my crafting mojo back after making 25 Christmas cards in the last month, I joined in with many of the Challenges from Beccy's Place and this card is one I did not get around to finishing, one of the extra prompts was Black and White plus one, I have a 6" paper pad from Couture Creations called Be Merry and Classic which is made up of black and cream or grey and cream designs, I also bought many years ago a pack of laser cut baubles with a snow flake design on it, I found one, not sure where the remaining have disappeared too. 

I have made a 5x7inch card and cut the paper in the middle to make it fit, covering the gap with a band of paper. I also dug through my bag of ancient gold peel-off stickers to add a fancy string to the bauble and also a peel-off sentiment. 

I have used a sketch seen on Kathy's blog Dunnit Again Designs which I resized to fit. When I eventually find the rest of the baubles, I will try adding different colours behind each one.. 


What I used: -
White 12.6x17.8cm card blank (5x7)
black paper 
two different gold cardstocks 
Be Merry and Classic Paper pad
peel off border and sentiment


Thank you for looking in...
Have a wonderful week...
Megan
