Good morning. It is my turn to choose the theme for our cards this time and as you can see I decided on The True Meaning of Christmas. I think, in all the hustle and bustle of shopping, presents, decorations etc we sometimes forget what Christmas is really all about.
My Cards
I used clear embossing ink and Detail Silver embossing powder on this lovely stamp.
This card uses a die from Memory Box. The way it cuts means that you can get two cards with alternate colours with just one pass. Quite clever really. I don't know why I don't use it more often. The sentiment is from my pack of peel offs from about twenty years ago.
Last time Kate chose black and gold and I liked that so much that this time I went for black and silver. The first one is slim line one (not big enough to be DL) and the second one is A6. Very difficult to photograph because the mirror card caught the light in the first one and in the second one the camera didn't pick up the glitter behind the silver circle. They do look better in real life - but you'll have to take my word for that.
Anyway, that's it from me. Have a good day.

Both cards in the black and silver look very elegant and very fitting for the theme this time.
