It’s once again time for the Papertrey Ink Blog Hop. This time the challenge is to use cover art as an inspiration for your card. I was immediately attracted to the light colored “OZ” on the black paper and started with that. Here’s the inspiration photo Nicole posted on the Papertrey blog:
I originally thought I’d add a sentiment in a variety of colors, but loved the tree so much I decided to keep it simple with a red banner. I love the white embossing on black. The berries were colored in with Smooch Lipstick which has a subtle glow to it IRL.
The tree is from one of my favorite Christmas sets, “Believe,” and the sentiment is from “Stylish Sentiments Holiday.” This is an A2 sized card, so even with the overhanging banner, it will fit into a standard enveloope. Although embossing tends to be more time-consuming (and messy) than I want to do for the many, many holiday cards I make each year, I may make a few more of these before I’m finished.
Gorgeous! The black background is perfect.

So stylish,Karen.
GORGEOUS, Karen! I love that Believe tree in white with the little red accents. So stunning against the black background! PS…Your link wasn’t working off the website (but I knew where to find you!) Maybe try linking it up again?
Beautiful! I love the black. Great job!
It was worth the mess, it is beautiful!
your card is gorgeous…it has such a classic feel to it! makes me wish I had black cardstock! 🙂
Stunning!
Wow, Karen, this card is so beautiful! I can never get my white to stand out so vividly on dark colors. I think I need a lesson from you!
OK Karen I haven’t commented for a while but I have been looking. This card is going into my “KW favourites” folder – one of those cards which are simple but BIG impact. Thanks for sharing your wonderful photos of family and scenery. I am very jealous (as I think I have said before), of the colours you get with the changes of the seasons. We go from hot (read humid) to a bit cold (nothing like you get but we think it’s bitter), to hot again.
Having said that, wouldn’t live anywhere else in the world, but cyber travelling is pretty good too. All the best to you and your family if I don’t comment before Christmas.
