Black and White Christmas

I really do like this Tiddly Inks image although I think it is no longer available. I've cut it out with a Nesties and then layered it onto some printed card (Salt n Pepper download from Funky Hand). I've made the background by embossing the card blank - a lot easier to do when I realised I need to open out the card so I wasn't shoving double thickness through! Swiss dots for the smaller panel.

I've dotted silver 3d paint around the edge of the image plus added some to the layered snowflake which is a Sizzix die.

The large black ribbon is from my stash (probably Blackburn market) and the smaller checked is from MeiFlower which I thoroughly recommend - wonderful range, great prices and very fast shipping!

I'd like to enter the following challenges:

Willow Sketchie: Sketch followed plus Snowflake extra
Cupcake Craft: Black and White Christmas
Creative Inspirations Paint: Embossing
Dream Valley Challenges: Monochrome
4 Crafty Chicks: Monochromatic
  • Image: Tiddly Inks
  • Embossing: Cuttlebug snowflakes and swiss dots
  • Dies: Sizzix snowflake, Spellbinder Nestabilities
  • Ribbon: Black and white checked from Meiflower, wide black, my stash
