Christmas Card Club Challenge #9

Hi Crafters,
This time at the CCC the challenge was set by Karen to make a card using 'black & white with one other colour'. I had these reindeer die cuts in my stash and thought these would be perfect for the challenge. They are cut from black glitter card and I set them in front of some torn paper hills and a Marianne Designs fir tree horizon die cut. The starry night sky background was a piece from a Kanban foil embossed sheet which I've also had in my stash for a long time.

I also added a piece of sheer organza ribbon and two silver bells to add to the Christmas theme.
Please take a look at the other ladies creations on the team, their links are in the tab at the top of my blog.
Challenges:
TTCRD - Anything Goes
Completely Christmas - Anything Goes #9
Scribble & Scrap - Anything Goes #17
CHNC challenge extra - Christmas Anything Goes (added)
Winter Wonderland - No Sentiment
 
Enjoy your Sunday and I'm off to visit a few of you out there this morning and will be round again later trying to catch up with commenting.
 
See you soon,
Lorraine

This is beautiful Lorraine - what a great pair of die cuts you had to use. I love the hills in the back ground with the blue sky, this is very effective with the silhouettes.

My card will be on my blog tomorrow, I have explained why - sorry.

Hugs to you Sue Pxxx
