I was inspired to make a more traditional Christmas card. It has all the good things: snow, a fir bough and holly wound up into a wreath, and a giant bauble. I love that stamp but use it all too seldom.
Snow was made with a stencil. I mixed some iridescent silver into the texture paste, but it does not show at all. It features several die cuts. The black wreath is by Alexandra Renke; I cut it in dark charcoal glitter card stock. Red, white, kraft and black is such a simple palette, but manages to look very elegant.
Entering it into these challenges:
