Black & White Christmas

The inspiration for this card came from this beautiful card.

The stamp is from docrafts Classic Christmas, embossed in black, some glitter glue added around the reindeers' feet and to their spots.

I am entering this card into Bah! Humbug Challenge: Elegance

Old Stash

Morning all.  This card was made for Clare's Photo Inspiration Challenge over at docrafts and I managed to use up some of last year's papers yay!  They are from docrafts A Christmas Carol.  The candle is from Sheena Douglass Christmas Day, stamped with Vintage Photo, colour pulled out with a paintbrush.  A little copper glitter for the centre of the poinsettias and some ribbon.  The date stamp is from docrafts Silent Night stamp set.
