Black and white

I am on a roll - this is my second Christmas card this year! I consider that a roll. I saw this challenge on


 Since I don't enter many challenges, I'm not sure if I had to only use the things on the mood board 

but this is the card I made. The panel is black and white checked paper but I had to cut it down to fit on the card base so I lost it. I used trees and stars in black ink and an old Stampin' Up wood stamp set to create this card.

Due to the ridiculous gas prices, I will no longer stop at red lights or stop signs. I can't afford to idle. Thank you for your understanding and be safe.






Be kind to one another.

Super black and white Christmas card, Brenda. Thanks for the advice to drive straight through red lights and stop signs to save fuel. 🤣 Petrol prices in the UK are over $10 a gallon! 😳 xx

Beautiful card, and our challenge though we have a mood board, it is only for inspiration if you wish, the challenge is always anything goes as long as it is Christmas themed! Thank you for joining our challenge at Peace On Earth!

Beautiful card. I love the elegance of black and white. Once you start to roll, you just pick up speed. So, you will have your Christmas cards done in no time.

I love the beautiful black and white Christmas card you made. It is gorgeous! I wish I had more time to stamp but I only get time in the afternoons.

A very pretty Christmas card, Brenda! Love the patterned trees and all the stars! Good for you for getting a start on your Christmas card stash. I started a few the other day, but have many more to go! Cute joke! We had a bad crash here yesterday evening at our corner. Someone apparently thought they didn’t have to stop and ran into another car. I just pray that they’re ok. Take care and have a great weekend, hugs!

Great design in black and white for Christmas! Love all those stars and the great background paper too! None of us can afford to idle anymore! LOL Stay safe!

I love how the patterns of these trees look in black and white, Brenda! I can see a bit of the checked papers around the edge! Can you believe we're halfway to Christmas already? Woosh!

Good for you Brenda, you are doing better than me...I haven't made any Christmas cards yet! How sad is that?! Fun to see another challenge devoted to Christmas to help build that stash. I love your card, you lost your black and white checked paper, but it still looks great. Love the tree designs and the stars. OMGosh, gas prices are ridiculous but had to laugh at the joke because that is about how everyone is feeling about it! Hugs, Brenda
