Grey and red Christmas cards

Cutie Sunday 127 calls for the use of black/grey and a colour of choice - mine is red.

The base cards are black linen. I stamped on to grey stardream card. The stamp is one that was lent to me by a dear crafting friend - you'll be seeing more of these images because I stamped quite a few before returning the stamp.

The strips across the cards are SEI wintersong, which is foiled in parts. I added five red gems to each card and a computer generated sentiment.

These are also for my own Craftyhazelnut's Christmas Challenge 4: let's see some bling.

Very difficult to get a photo because of the sheen of the cards.

These are also for:

The lollipop ladies 12: allsorts of things - some black
PaperPlay 3: back to black - use a black base
Sugar creek hollow sensational Saturday: black and white and a splash of one colour
Ooh-la-la 71: bling it on
Order of the opus gluei 86: make a scene
Creative inspirations 51: celebrate
Delightful: let's celebrate
Gingerloft 9: celebrations
Challenge up your life 35: clean and simple
Glitterbabe's 28: anything goes with sparkle
Pile it on 3: anything goes
Let's ink it up 8: anything goes
Pear tree designs 32: free for all
Paper cutz 75: your choice
Penny's 45: anything goes
Christmas cards all year round January: anything goes
