Unconventional Colors

That's what the caschristmascardchallenge is asking for this month. I think black and white are the most unconventional colors you would think of for Christmas cards. I used a Spellbinders poinsettia die and added a bit of black sponging. I embossed the Penny Black sentiment in white embossing powder and added the black panel to a white card base.









Be kind to one another.

Hi Brenda,
I must admit I have made only a few black and white Christmas cards in my time and long time ago now too.
Your CAS design is wonderful and what a super poinsettia it's gorgeous.
Lots of crafty love and hugs from my house to yours. Jenny L.

Oooooooh, I am loving this very striking poinsettia in white against the black, Brenda! It's like Christmas is wearing a tuxedo! Very smart, my friend, and very unconventional, although I think you may have just started a trend!! Hugs, Darnell
