cas-ual fridays 62

Yey TGIF! Of course that means another CAS-ual Fridays challenge too – even better :) This week we are challenging you to use a black card base for your design. Our sponsor is non other than the lovely Laura of Lil’ Inker Designs! I just happen to have a few LID goodies being on their design team LOL and couldn’t wait to get started.

I’ve been seeing lots of Christmas in July cards around so thought I’d add one more myself :) I just love black and metallics together and who doesn’t love a bit of sparkle at Christmas time!

I die cut the holly leaves from gold glitter card and then added bronze brad berries to the creamy white die cut. A simple sentiment finished it off and I mounted the panel onto an embossed black card base.

    That textured black card makes such a beautiful statement. So rich and regal looking, great idea for a Christmas card.
