I wanted to share a card with you that I made for Christmas. I was challenged by one of the ladies in the HA Flicker group today to make a card based on my last upload to HA Gallery! Now I didn't complete mine in the allotted time due to camera problems. It was still really fun and I knew I would be submitting it to other challenges. My last card to that gallery was this one! So my card had to use the same stamps but in a different way. I so love the combination of black, white and red. Those colours are so formal but yet so elegant. So that is what I wanted to create today - a card based on the new Card Patterns Sketch, the Hero Arts challenge to make a card using non-traditional Christmas stamps, using the same stamps has yesterday's card, and to make it elegant.
These are the challenges that this card was made for today.

And now for my card! Don't you just love these colours together!
Card Supplies:
Cardstock: Bazzill
Embellishments: Handmade Flower, Cricuit die-cut medallion and lace doily.
Ribbon: From my Stash (It's really red broadcloth binding.)Embossing Powder: The Artful Stamper - Black
Instructions:
Using woodgrain stamp, add versa mark adhesive to surface and stamp onto a 4x6 piece of white cardstock. After stamping, cover with black embossing powder. Then shake off excess powder and place back into jar. Taking a Heat Embossing tool, set the embossing powder until you see it rise up and give texture. Then trim around the stamped panel if need be. Set aside. Now cut a black panel just a little bigger than the first one and set aside. Now with red ribbon, wrap around white embossed panel and tie a bow. Taking half of a small size doily, add to right side of card. Add die-cut medallion and handmade flower. Now add this embossed panel to black cardstock previously cut. Stamp sentiment on white cardstock with black ink and distress around edges with red ink and add to card.

Hi Dana,
I am trying to crawl out from under my rock, making it slow but sure, thanks for visiting my blog, I am not an avid blogger, don't like talking about myself much.
Any way, just wanted to let you know i love this card, the black and white with the touch of red so striking!! Just awesome looking, I see you are keeping busy, as am I, sometimes more than I would like.
OH well, will post you more at a later date, just wanted to let you know I am still around, just slower than normal!!
Thanks much for thinking of me,
hugs for now,
Donna
