I thought I would try something a little different with this card, not sure I have ever made a black and white Christmas card before. I inked the Inkylicious sentiment with white ink on black card and diecut it with a MFT wonky stitched oval, embossed the background and added the ribbon from Crafty Ribbons. I used Memory Box stitched snowflake dies and added some pearls. After it was made I wished I had used spray and sparkle on the sentiment so I used a Wink of Stella clear pen instead. Does the sparkle show, of course not! it looks lovely and sparkly in real life.
