I thought I would play along with the 52 Christmas Card Throwdown June color challenge: grey, gold, and black. This was a real challenge for me--where are the pinks and blues I've been using lately?! But I did have the Paper Rose B&W Christmas 6x6 paper I didn't have a chance to use last Christmas. The background is my favorite grey cardstock, Bazzill Fig Swirl, embossed with Stampin' Up Linen. The trees are Yvonne Creations. The Noel is cut from Recollections Gold Mirror Board.
Then since I had the Penny Black Noel die and paper out, I went ahead and made another card in a different colorway. This one has a background of Spellbinders Glimmer Twinkle Lights (snow!) in silver foil on the same Bazzill Fig Swirl Cardstock. I colored the bow with Copic R27.
I'm entering this one in Watercooler Wednesday #317 All Things Masculine and Try It on Tuesday For the Man in Your Life.
Two lovely masculine cards
