Okay, okay, this is my last one (maybe). But if you're following my blog (shameless begging alert... please follow my blog, pretty please...) you'll know that I just got my most recent Stampin' Up order, a bunch of holiday stamp sets and toys and since they are so new, it's what I'm using to complete The Friday Mashup's weekly challenge: to create a black and white card, to create a card with bling, or mash-it-up and make a black and white card with bling.
I tried this a bunch of different ways, but nothing was working. Finally, I stamped the solid tree from Evergreen on Basic Black with the new Illuminate ink. It gives it a kind of silvery shine. I'm glad it came out so well in the photo! In real life, it is beautiful! I highly recommend this ink pad!
I stamped the words over the solid images of the tree in the stazon white. I topped the tree with a large rhinestone. I used the sentiment on the bottom from an old retired set that I bought from an upline. I added white grosgrain ribbon and then added it to a layer of white and then a layer of black, and then I added a line of holes pierced down the side (I'm into paper piercing these days....)
Thanks for looking!

Lisa, I love how you stamped on the black cardstock here. And how you tore the bottom - with the white peeking through at the bottom it gives the impression of snow-covered hills! Fabulous :)
I love that you used the new Illuminate pad! I want to try it.
Great idea to pair up the Illuminate pad with white ink over the top! You're definitely on a roll with your black and white Christmas cards!
I love this card!
